Again black screen with Loading please wait ...

Thread needs solution

Hello guys, need help.
Acronis TI 2017, Lenovo X1, UEFI - when booting from flash drive (acronis 64 bit) I get black screen with Loading please wait ... then nothing happened.
Before that I used acronis 32 bit with boot option in BIOS:Legacy mode - no problem.

Any thoughts, solutions? Thanks in advance.

Booting from a flash drive to the rescue media app in UEFI mode for 64 bit will probably require that Secure Boot be disabled in your bios.  This is something that occurs with some computers and not others.  Try it and post back.  If your computer supports or has installed a graphics card which, I think the X1 does, some users have found that temporarily switching to the default graphics of the Intel or AMD chipset solves such problems however, given that you can boot into the 32 bit Legacy/CSM app and not the UEFI 64 bit versions leads me to think that is not the case here.

I've checked secure boot on and off - always the same :(

Tried to change boot option - pushed "e" and deleted "quite" command. It stopped on "> Input: At Translated Set 2 keyboard ...

So, no ideas :(

 

 

 

This might be a case of user impatience.  How long have you waited for the application to load after you see the Loading please wait message?  I have found that on some machines this can take several minutes to complete.

I guess waiting 30 min is enough ;)  So eventually I decided to use Acronis and WinPE instead of basic bootable Acronis (based on Linux).

You know what's amazing? It really works.

So I think this is the compatibility issue, which is disappointing. On the other hand, it is good to have the other option.

Thanks for your support.

What's the video setting in the bios?  On my Gigabyte motherboard firmware, I am using the embedded CPU graphics.  However, my board let's me choose up to 1024Mb for the embedded graphics and the default bootable recovery media does not like it at all.  If I scale back to 512Mb for embedded graphics, it works fine. 

As you've found though, WinPE can have better driver support "out of the box".  WinPE will have the default Windows drivers (including basic display drivers) that are the equivalent of the base drivers found in the Windows installer.  Using Windows 10 ADK to build my Acronis WinPE, and using the MVP ATI WinPE builder (see my link below), you can build some very nice custom WinPE with very little effort... and you can add your own custom drivers into the build in the process as well.  Now that you know WinPE solves the issue, give the MVP ATI PE builder a go when you have the opportunity (the advanced mode, which is super easy to build and gives you some extra goodies like a web browser, file explorer and more). 

Hi, Roman Manyushin
Hi Also have the same laptop X1 Carbon intel 6200u, and I can't boot Acronis Linux, but worked on PE, but I rather to use in Linux Acronis.. Whats the solution?

Continue to use WinPE. That's 

Linux can be limited with driver support.  WinPE allows you to add your own drivers.  Do you see any linux support for this system from Lenovo?  I took a peak a the specs and only a handful of Linux kernels are supported. The Acronis Linux environment is busybox - I don't see that in this model's support from Lenovo so I suspect the drivers you need, just aren't available.

Or, it's something in the bios that needs to be configured.  If you have dual graphics cards, make sure the bios doesn't say "automatic" and pick one specifically. If the bios gives the system more than 512Mb by default, it won't work either which is another problem with Linux and embedded graphics with busybox. Perhaps your system is UEFI, but you have secure boot enabled and/or need to turn on CSM/legacy mode to boot a Linux 3rd party bootloader.  No way for me to know as I don't have that model - you'll have to poke around the bios and try different configs.  

In the long run, the WinPE is easier to create and compatible so will save you time.  What don't you like about the winpe version?  Have you tried building it with our MVP winpe builder in "advanced" mode?  It is very simple to do and the resulting WinPE is much nicer - browser, file explorer, pdf support, etc.
