I'm trying to install Elementary OS Freya Beta 1 alongside with my Windows 8.1 system using EFI. This is happening to me but no exacly in the same way. For me the install goes smoothly, I have no such errors. But upon rebooting, I simply end with the dreaded black command line from gub. I tried to use boot-repair but whatever options I use, boot-repair always fails. Here's my last report: http://
I have to mention that the EFI option in my BIOS to booting into elementary OS is working just fine, as well as the Windows one. If I select Windows in my BIOS, the OS boots just fine. If I select elementary, I get the grub screen. I think the problem might be with the version of grub being used by the OS, but I'm not sure.
Also, if I install Ubuntu 14.04 with the exact same setup everything goes fine, so I think my partition-scheme is not no blame. It must be a problem with the elementary installer.
I'm installing elementary using an USB drive. I believe I read somewhere that if you burned the ISO into a DVD instead, the install would work, but I cannot test this myself since I replaced the DVD player of my laptop with an hard drive. Can someone confirm this?
