Hi Mates! I will describe a way to install Burg bootloader, instead of the good'old Grub. Things you will need: USB Pendrive at least 2GB Ubuntu 10.04 Live ISO uNetbootin Steps: Format the USB Stick in Windows, with default settings and fat32. Open up uNetbootin and choose the ubuntu iso image, then your usb sticks drive letter. Make the LiveUSB. Reboot and choose your LiveUSB, "Try Ubuntu without install". (in Ubuntu you will not have touchscreen working, but you can navigate with the arrow/tab keys) On the desktop press Alt+F1 and go to Settings/Network, set up a wireless connection. From the Accessories menu open the Terminal and issue the following commands: Code: sudo su mount /dev/sda1 /mnt cd /mnt mkdir bin cdrom dev dev/pts etc home lib media proc rofs sbin sys usr tmp var mount --bind /bin ./bin mount --bind /cdrom ./cdrom mount --bind /dev ./dev mount --bind /dev/pts ./dev/pts mount --bind /etc ./etc mount --bind /home ./home mount --bind /lib ./lib mount --bind /media ./media mount --bind /proc ./proc mount --bind /rofs ./rofs mount --bind /sbin ./sbin mount --bind /sys ./sys mount --bind /usr ./usr mount --bind /tmp ./tmp mount --bind /var ./var chroot /mnt/ /bin/bash add-apt-repository ppa:bean123ch/burg apt-get update && apt-get install burg While the Burg install process it will ask you about kernel commands, for that just hit enter twice and then it ask you about where to install Burg, there you have to choose /dev/sda. Your Windows installation is recognized automatically, but for the Android you have to add few lines to 40_custom file. Code: nano /etc/burg.d/40_custom If you not familiar with the boot args of your Android x86 installation, here is a little example: Code: menuentry "Android-4.0-RC1" { set root='(hd0,1)' echo 'Loading Android ICS...' linux /android-4.0-RC1/kernel quiet root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=tegav2 acpi_sleep=s3_bios,s3_mode SRC=/android-4.0-RC1 echo 'Loading initial ramdisk...' initrd /android-4.0-RC1/initrd.img There is a bunch of themes already installed with Burg, but in case you want to add something of your choice then it's time to do it! If you've finished make config and update burg: Code: burg-mkconfig && update-burg Before rebooting try your bootloader with the cmd: Code: burg-emu Thats all, you should have a brand new and shiny look bootloader Hope it was useful!

Hello, How I've to edit the Android Boot Settings menuentry "Android-4.0-RC1" { set root='(hd0,1)' echo 'Loading Android ICS...' linux /android-4.0-RC1/kernel quiet root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=tegav2 acpi_sleep=s3_bios,s3_mode SRC=/android-4.0-RC1 echo 'Loading initial ramdisk...' initrd /android-4.0-RC1/initrd.img If I had Adroid installed on the micro SD card in my Viewpad 10? I can boot it with F11 and then select, but this is not nice.
I would guess that the microSD card would be seen as (hd1,1). You would need to manually edit the bootloader info, according to the first post. Change this: set root='(hd0,1)' To this: set root='(hd1,1)'
