[devoris]

Thank you for the link. Much appreciated and I will test this out as soon as i get the chance on my i5.

in my configuration it doesn't work. I have an asrock mainboard with an AMD 350e and uefi bios. the installation works fine but the uefi bios don't see any uefi operating system. if i run aTV after the installatione instead of reboot, it seems to start (two circles that move) but after that the screen goes black and it never starts.

Working for vga onboard DVI + HDMI port....

I don't understand, my mainboard has vga + dvi + hdmi ports. I have tested the vga and the hdmi port, after the circles I don't see nothing. But the problem is also that uefi bios don't see any operating system after the installation. Ubuntu installation with grub uefi works fine.

Make 2 partitions on your hard Drive

1 partition 1g with fat32 is boot files (sda1) name it UEFI
1 partition the rest of your hard Drive to system and ext4 (sda2) name it ANDROID

When you install Android TV choose your ext4 partition to install (sda2) and choose yes to uefi grub and yes to format boot partition (sda1) then install system as read/write.

I did exactly what you wrote, many times, but Bios don't see any operating system. Anyway, I managed to start aTV by installing grub through ubuntu and creating a new line for android. The kernel starts, I see some circles that move for a few seconds, after which the screen turns black and nothing happens. The same thing happens if at the end of the installation I choose "run android" instead of "reboot the system". With ctrl+alt+f1 I can enter in a shell, but I don't know what to do.

thanks for reply
