Installing Eos, can't get pass grub

DKnight009 · 08-06-2014, 01:38 PM

Hey guys, i tried installing Elementary Os Luna x64 in a Toshiba Satellite S45-B (with Windows 8.1) laptop through a Live USB. When i boot in the usb and select to try elementary w/o installing i get this:

Code:

hda_intel: azx_get_response timeout, switching to single_cmd mode

I tried Ubuntu 14.04 in a live usb and it worked, but elementary doesn't. I'm new to linux so i don't know what's going on.

Please help. Thanks for reading

the output you provided looks like a warning about audio drivers - it shouldn't interfere with booting.
maybe it freezes right after that.
but nobody'll be able to help you without more information.

A search of "azx_get_response timeout" would likely have found something like this.
Gives background and a solution - although that might be beyond someone new to Linux.

That thread was in March - I'm surprised Elementary don't have a newer system available by now to fix this.

Well, i had seen this post before while looking for the answer but it looks like i dind't see it all. I tried the F6 option and couldn't so i asked here a solution.

Thanks for the reply, i'll see if i can enter nomodeset now.

it seems it didn't have anything to do with sound at all.
sorry about that & one more time i stand corrected by a veteran!
