[SOLVED] Cannot install Snakeoil on UEFI-only NUC

[agent_kith]

Hi agent-kith,

Thanks for generating the new kernel.

Just tried, still not successful. Replaced the kernel in the USB and it could boot up like before. After installation and when I booted from SSD, the screen was blank after choosing ubuntu from Grub, with no messages displayed. When I selected the recovery or upstart entry, the following 2 messages displayed and then stopped:

Loading Linux 4.4.9-rt17-snakeoil-uefi-x64 . . .
Loading initial ramdisk . . .

Tried using boot repair disk to fix it, not successful. Please let me know if you need any further information. Thanks.

Hi SK,

Are you able to find the IP of the computer from your router (or DHCP server) and see if you can ping the computer? Or try and ping 'snakeoil.local' and see if you get a response.

When I install Snakeoil on my EFI computer, for some reason the console is blanked out, but the system is actually usuable. See if you can access the Web app.

Could never figure out why the screen is blank. It's in my TODO list, but since no console is actually better (TTY has very high latency because it needs to sync to the monitor), I never really dig too much into it to fix it.
