Hi guys

I've got the DV2in European version (1023ef),
with same config more or less
ATI HD3410, HDMI
2Go Ram
DD 5400tr 250Go
No External DVD

Well, I got it with Vista, but boot on a triple boot Seven/Vista/Ubuntu
Works quite great on 7 (7077x64)
On JJ 9.04 released 04-23 it works with a few tricks/lacks:

To usb boot, make a usb key with the iso & unetbootin
TO load, you've got to check usb order in bios, then use this trick:
and it comes to the ubuntu loading image, UNPLUG then REPLUG the usbkey.
Dont know why this would work, but it did great for a bunch of guys on forums, plus myself
If you dont manage time to unplug/replug, you get directly to the busy box

Then...
The boot sequences (grub / seven bootloader) are to be done this way
If you install 7 first, grub will take over and recognize any OS
if you install 7 last, the bootloader will probably not see the linux partitions. This case, you've got to install grub via live-usb.

Well, finally I got it quite working
First grub asks, then the windows bootlader.

On Seven, pretty much nothing to say. Works alright. Happens to freeze, but rarely.
Only the button to desactivacte the trackpad is not working.

On Ubuntu, it runs smooth,

but I still got a couple of issues:
First two error infos at booting which are bypassed

At grub stage:
- Bad load of APIC
- Error on modprobe (modules.deb)
(bypassed after a few sec)

- On x64, I didnt manage to get the sound working/ No problems with sound on x86 (32bits)
