Hi guys!
I found Android X86 a few days ago through this video on youtube "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpiWQjISpgU&t=24s" and I've found some troubles, I have installed Android Nougat 7.1 RC2 in my laptop (Intel I3/8gb ram/intelhd3000) and and runs great.
I have linux ubuntu 16.04 here in my laptot and I used a RPM android file that I found here https://goo.gl/FdKQ5a, I just use alien to install the file and reboot. then I can see the entry for android x86 and bingo runs nice there.
Then I decided to try on my PC (intel I7/16gb ram/nvidia gtx1060) and not working, I try to install on Ubuntu and my Fedora, Fedora I installed directly with this RPM file, the file install great but, when I reboot my pc and try start Android x86 it pass from grub and screen fix in a black screen " Android x86-64#".
I try to do a grub manully entry under some tips on the internet but not work too.

EX:

menuentry "Android-x86 7.1 Nougat" {
        search --set=root --file /android-7.1-RC2/kernel
        linux /android-7.1-RC2/kernel quiet root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.selinux=permissive buildvariant=userdebug CMDLINE
        initrd /android-7.1-RC2/initrd.img

and:

insmod part_gpt
search --file --no-floppy --set=root /android-7.1/system.sfs
linux /android-7.1/kernel root=/dev/ram0  androidboot.selinux=permissive buildvariant=userdebug SRC=/android-7.1
initrd /android-7.1/initrd.img


I think the problem is my uefi bios, I really don't know what happen, I appreciate if you can help me with this, there's a couple of week searching on the internet a solution without a success, thanks for everything.

Sorry my bad English is not my native language.

Regards.

Nvidia gtx1060 is not supported by the current kernel.

Either disable it and use the Intel integrated GPU,
or wait a future release with newer kernel.

Or try experimenting with newer kernels. There's some support for Pascal
in the latest kernels.

Mesa might need upgrade too.
