TI Home 2010 boot medium end up with black screen

Thread needs solution

Hello,
I've got a ASUS EeePC 1101HA NetBook and TI Home 2010 Build 5055.
I created a rescue medium on an USB-Stick. After booting and choosing
"True Image Home" from the menu, I end up with a black screen.

The EeePC 1101 is in the compatibility-list of TI "Netbook Edition", so
it has also to work with the "Home Edition". Why is there a problem
starting the rescue medium and how can I fix this?

Thanks,
Markus

It is possible that the Linux drivers are different between the NetBook and Home editions.

Have you tried pressing the F11 key as you boot up from the USB key and entering some of the switches that are listed in the TI 2010 manual to see if that will get you any further.

If your rescue environment has the option of a 'Safe' TI boot try choosing this instead of the standard Linux boot.

You also want to make sure the USB stick was made without errors. Can you try it on another system?

I've tried the following switches:
acpi=off, noapic, nousb, nodma, nofw, nopcmcia, pci=bios, pci=nobios, pci=biosirq.

I switched off the quite mode and the last thing on the screen, before it hangs up, is:
[sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk
Attached scsi generic sg1 type 0

There is no SCSI-Harddrive inside the netbook, only SATA.
Are there additional switches for scsi, like noscsi, or scsi=off?

In the Help are some switches, but I think there are more of them,
like [module name]=off

How can I choose the "safe TI boot"? I haven't seen such a option.

Thanks,
Markus

Log into your Acronis account and click on Registered Products and Support, then click on the Free Plugins tab and you'll be able to download the safe environment. There is also an ISO on the bootable media tab, which might work for you, as this will be different to the one you've made via the actual program.

Another thread seems to have given a temporary workaround. When the system boots, use F2 to enter the BIOS setup. Look for an entry (in one of the menus) that allows you to view onboard devices (e.g., USB, WLAN, NIC, Camera, etc). (My menu selections were Advanced->Onboard Device Configuration). You should see "Enabled' for a lot (if not all) of the devices. Set the onboard LAN (not WLAN) to Disabled. Save and exit. TrueImage should work now.
