I check the linux-data and it should be linux /boot which is ext2 partition, just that grub failed to install. If I try stuff out and it does not work, then I will just give it back to my friend. I check the bios, I cannot find the secure boot option to disable it :( Any pointers and suggestions before I take out the hammer or give up and give it back to my friend. Laptop is a SATELLITE L775-S7135 which should be supported. Best Regards, Antonio
