Installation strange display problem

[Lucio Tamburini]

Hi all, I'm trying to install Android X-86 on my notebook but I have some trouble.

GRUB menù (all ok):

x-86 live version (shell unreadable, Android Environment OK):

x-86 installation, stuck in the installation process (everythings is unreadable, vertical orientation, everything seems to be multiplicated and splitted):

Android X86 version 8.1-r1

Notebook/Tablet (detachable keyboard + touchscreen) Lenovo model 80SG

Screen native resolution 1280x800

Some help? How to start the installation in some "safe creen mode" so I can perform it?

(I have already search in the FAQ of android-x86.org and in google... nothing, you are my last chanche)

Thank in advance... :-)

In the boot menu, try "Advanced options" -> "No Hardware Acceleration".
But it's strange why it works in live mode...

Tryed the "no hardware acceleration" but non solution:

(shell ambient)

(Android OS environment. Note the rectangular box -I have pushed the power button-)

So:

- "live": shell unreadable / AndroidOS no problem

- "no hardware acceleration": shell unreadable / androidOS unreadable

- "installation" and "automatic installation to hard disk": shell unreadable (unable to choose option and continue)

If the logic is correct, the problem must be in the hardware acceleration of my device. The androidOS use it and have no problem, the shell *do not use it* and the screen is unreadable.

There is any solution to force the hardware acceleration also in the shell part?

Thanks...

Not understand what you meant the "shell".

You should collect dmesg & logcat for both
normal (live) and abnormal cases for analysis.

Sorry, I mean the first part when the OS is loading, before the "graphic part".

The "command prompt", "black background + white text"... what's the correct name?

Can you explain me how to collect dmesg & logcat? Need to edit the option in GRUB?

Press Alt+F1/2/3 to get to the shell and type dmesg/logcat. It has to be booted in order to run these commands.
