Re: linux support swift 7, hard drive not recognized

Thanks, but I'm not having a black screen problem or secure boot issue. I have secure boot disabled, but enabled it to see if there was a bios update through windows, and the update found nothing to install.

The problem is the hard drive is not recognized properly. I can boot up a linux live usb no problem. I just can't install it because there is no hard drive (according to linux)

I have already jumped through hoops, and can get it to work on older kernels, but that leads to jumping through more hoops to get wifi and other things working. I have debian running on dual boot right now (it was a PITA), but I'm stuck with kernels 4.0.9 and below.

you can see my kernel report here, which shows the hard drive error

here's another post detailing my attempts to get something working

Does calling acer do anything different than chat? I chatted with them yesterday and they told me they don't support 3rd party software.
