Android x86 nougat or marshmallow, cannot install grub. Not have a prompt to install :(

[Lukasz M.]

Hello.

I have downloaded from Your site "android x86 iso". I try these versions:

android-x86_64-7.1-rc2.iso

or

cm-x86_64-14.1-rc1.iso

I have a laptop with clean disk (with no partitions). I want to install android to this disk.

If android install started, I create and format (ext4) partition. On next screen not have a prompt to install GRUB.
I only have a screen with message: "Do You install Efi GRUb2?" - I try select yes.

After installation is complete, System not boot from disk :(

On older versions:

android-x86-4.4-r5.iso

Installation and system working and boot OK.

Only have problem with latest 6.0 or 7.1 versions of Android x86.

I need newer version, because on android 4.4 not support many devices on my laptop.

Please help me. What I can do, to install grub on MBR on these disk?

Best regards.

I had similar trouble with my laptop installation. I used system-rescue-disc live usb stick to create two partitions to my disk. First was 250mb Fat32 for the Grub2 and marked it bootable. Then I took the rest of the space and created it as ext4. Then in Androidx86 installer I chose the ext for the Android an the Grub2 installed itself to the Fat32 partition.

Under the video, expand Show More - it lays out in detail how to properly format the drive and install Android-x86

I'm using an Intel i5 box (UEFI system). I used the Android-x86 7.1-rc2 release (you need the 64 bit for UEFI)

I tested this.

Not work.

Go back to the beginning, and make 200mb vfat partition, name it UEFI. Then make your second EXT4 partition and install as normal.
