Trying to boot into the 12.10 live installation from a USB stick on ASUS Zenbook Prime UX32VD. After GRUB it just shows a blank screen. It's an UEFI system, so from the boot manager I picked UEFI: USB DISK PMAP and as advised in here, changed the splash parameter to nomodeset. So the parameters are:

setparams 'Try Ubuntu without installing'

    set gfxpayload=keep
    linux   /casper/vmlinuz.efi.signed  file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper quiet nomodeset --
    initrd  /casper/initrd.lz

I've already tried re-creating the USB stick, removing the quiet parameter and not changing the splash parameter, but neither of those made a difference.

  • What do you see if you remove the `quiet` boot parameter? – gertvdijk Jan 01 '13 at 17:11
  • The same blank screen. – hleinone Jan 01 '13 at 17:19
  • Have you tried all the suggestions in [My computer boots to a black screen, what options do I have to fix it?](http://askubuntu.com/questions/162075/my-computer-boots-to-a-black-screen-what-options-do-i-have-to-fix-it)? – gertvdijk Jan 01 '13 at 18:10
  • I got a bit further by the help of [this question in ASUS support](http://support.asus.com/faq/detail.aspx?SLanguage=en&p=3&m=UX32VD&s=411&hashedid=Z9zboGSUuWyLgwXV&os=&no=8AEDC590-B808-710B-1877-4E94E38B8FD9). Disabling the Secure boot and enabling CSM got me past the blank screen to the next obstacle. – hleinone Jan 01 '13 at 18:16
  • Change `quiet splash` to `nomodeset` . It should works. – Nitheesh Chandrika Jan 01 '13 at 17:16
  • No, it doesn't. – hleinone Jan 01 '13 at 17:32

Check that you disable the Secure Boot as well as Fast Boot as stated in the UEFI part of the documentation.
