Error Slack instalation - Notebook Acer E5-573-541L - PCI INT A: GSI


Hello friends.
I will be very direct, if anyone can help me I will be very grateful.
I recently tried to install Slackware 14.2 on a notebook Acer E5-573-541L. Where I created the following table partitions.
300mb default windows
400GB partition where is installed windows 10, which came pre-installed.
Another 460 GB partition without format directed to the slackware.
But to give the boot in slackware in order to install the system I get the following message.
0000: 00: 14.0: PCI INT A: GSI
and nothing else works, being forced to turn off the device.
Anyone have any suggestions on how I can solve the problem?
I tested with Kali Linux and the problem also occurred.

Why don't you create one ext4 partition and one swap partition during the installation, then install LILO automatically on MBR? It could work.

I have read that there may be firmware issues with this latop which prevent Linux from being installed; solution mentioned is to check the BIOS version and update if possible.

I updated the bios. Now it seems that will work.
I'll do the tests and return with the conclusion.
Thanks to all

The problem of installation has been resolved. On the Acer site I downloaded and installed a new firmware bios. Thus I managed to install slackware on one partition but now I have a problem at boot.
The windows 10 came pre-installed on the machine, reducing the size of the windows partition on the system, leaving 460 GB in order to install Slackware.
I disabled the secure boot in bios, I installed slackware using USB drive, did the partitioning using gdisk.
At the time of system installation was asked to installed the ELILO, made according to the offered but after the installation process the system does not boot from the slackware. I only have the option of booting using windows. And using a LiveCD the slackware is installed.
Can anyone help me with this?
Please, sorry my english. I'm Brazilian and learning this.

PS:
I will give this topic as solved, I will open new topic hum with my Current Problems To facilitate the search If anyone pass by this problem.
