Upon trying out a Jumper EzBook Pro, I decided to install Elementary OS on it, no easy feat since it only supports EFI. After quite a bit of work, I managed to install the refind bootloader (http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/installing.html#efishell) via a bootstrapped EFI shell. I then tried to boot Elementary OS from a USB drive. I got a blinking cursor. After finding https://www.linuxquestions.org/ques...of-common-linux-distros-4175605766/page2.html to be a dead end, I found http://linuxiumcomau.blogspot.com/2017/06/customizing-ubuntu-isos-documentation.html - which described the use of isorespin.sh. I used this with the --apollo option (the EZBook 3 uses an Apollo Lake chip) to generate a new ISO. Upon booting that via refind, I got past the blinking cursor and into the Linux boot process. But I quickly saw messages go by like: *ERROR* PPS state mismatch Warning: fsck not present, so skipping file system mount: can't find /root in /etc/fstab mount: mounting /run on /root/run failed: no such file or directory run-init: current directory on the same filesystem as the root: error 0 No init found. Try passing init=bootarg At the end, I was dropped at the dreaded initramfs prompt, with no recourse. I have no idea how I couldn't even make it to a splash screen for the installer. I'm unsure what, if anything, can be done from here.
