HDD Installation won't boot, only OS on hard drive. - Remix OS for PC

Here are my system basics:
ASUS M32CD
Intel Core i7-6700
NVIDIA GeForce GT730
Installation to hard drive was successful, and I can get to the grub menu. I get such at the Remix OS boot logo, and have let it go for an hour before a hard shutdown. I have tried setting it to use Intel graphics only, with same result and I have added androidboot.swrast=1 in grub.
I'm using the latest version on the official site. Guest mode from USB will boot. I known this system can run Linux, as I have Korora 24 on a separate hard drive (not hooked to the mother board at the same time).

they should really remake the installation process, i am only able to run remix os, on on of my computer. all running windows 10.

I refuse to run Windows. So if it takes installing Windows to run it, I guess I won't run it.

I Cant install or Run Remix OS 2 BETA on my PC!!!

Hello everyone,
I am having trouble with the new version of Remix OS 2 Beta.
I am running a 64 bit machine, and downloaded the correct version. I used the installation tool (not the original usb tool, but the one that allows you to install to the C drive) and it appeared that everything was installed correctly "BUT". When i boot i get the two options (Windows 10, Remix OS). I choose the Remix OS option, and it gives me an error (remixos/kernel error). So, i did some research and it says that the os might not recognize that i have a 64 bit machine. I then proceeded with the same installation but 32 bit this time since it should allow me to use that version if i have a 64 bit machine right? It allows me to boot, but then stays in limbo on the ASUS boot screen until i restart. any suggestions.
Have the same exact issue. Are you booting with legacy or efi

Are you talking about a USB in fat32 or a hard drive partition? Tried converting both to fat to no avail on an EFI system

Take the intrid.img from the Android x86 project of 5.1.1 and replace that on the usb before install. Worked for me. Rinning Beta 64bit now wheni could only run 32bit before.

Run it off the USB. When option comes for resident or guest hit tab and add to the line (or e for edit) INSTALL=1
I have a 64 bit machine and it installed fine. I don't think I had to change any setting from the installer. Wouldn't work with the alpha but the beta installed and booted right up. When it was installing there was like an 8 minute timeframe where it seemed it wasn't doing anything and my monitor (an hd tv) was getting no signal but I just let it keep running and finally it came back on and it booted right up. I installed to the harddrive also btw.
Thank you all for your feed back. I will try some of your suggestions in the morning. I didn't think I would get a response this fast haha. Thanks again for now.

I tried both ways and and with efi just got the kernel issue. It seems that everything installed correctly but when I choose remix OS it tries to boot and I get the remixos/kernel error
This sounds exactly the same issue than I have with Dell Venue 11 pro (7140). It has Windows 10 installed and secure boot is disabled in BIOS. I can select Remix OS in boot menu but then the following errors are displayed Remix OS doesn't start:
error: 'ntfs' is already loaded.
error: 'exfat' is already loaded.
error: no such device: /RemixOS/kernel.
error: file '/RemixOS/kernel' not found.
error: you need to load the kernel first.

Yes this is my issue exactly. I hope this is only a minor bug, because I realise we are still in beta and all devices won't work the same. Please is there anyone who can help us with this???

My Surface Pro 3 has this same issue no matter where I install Remix, kernel error.
I'm a dumbass, forgot to turn off secure boot.
Installed to hard disk, disabled secure boot and just boots straight into window 10, pathetic

I had this error, turned out Bitlocker was enabled and preventing the install from starting on restart.

OK maybe this will work. I'll try it in the morning thanks for the tip.
So far nothing I have tried all of your guys suggestions and have had no luck. Maybe this version was released too early, because it seems like this is a major bug

If you would share some info with us, we might be able to provide a fix :
In Windows, open Run dialog. (Windows key pressed + r)
Type msinfo32 and enter.
You'll see a lot of information, please list the following :
1. System type
2. Processor
3. Bios mode
4. Platform Role
5. Secure boot state
6. Installed Physical Memory (Ram)
7. Total Physical Memory.
Also tell which version of beta you used. 32-bit or 64-bit?

Got the same problem. I don't get any errors, but currently I have Win10 32bit installed on NTFS harddrive Atom-based laptop. Downloaded and installed RemixOS BETA 64bit, rebooted and disabled secure boot, but when I choose RemixOS in boot manager it only boots into Windows. Any ideas?

2. Atom CPU Z3736F
3. UEFI
4. Mobil
5. Off
6. 2GB

You have as 64-bit capable CPU, as detailed on http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Atom-Z3736F-Tablet-SoC.122214.0.html
So 64-bit beta should work for you. Don't know why 32-bit UEFI systems have this issue.
However I'll inform you as soon as I update my Grub2Win guide.

Acer C720P - Remix OS - Wildly impressed.

First the issues. I was not able to figure out how to set it up to where I can install Remix OS on my chromebook's SSD instead of having to use a USB stick. I also wasn't able to figure out why running the ISO installer tool that comes with the most recent download (yesterday) didn't work. I used it on a 32GB PNY USB flash drive, but after going into the legacy boot menu on my Chromebook, and selecting my USB stick to boot from, it was not able to find an operating system. Instead, I used Linux Live USB Creator (LiLi). I manually selected the Remix OS ISO that came with the download, and installed it to my USB stick. My chromebook recognized it immediately as a bootable OS. It even gave me the options for guest mode, and write mode. I chose write mode. The only downside to this is not being able to choose how large the partitions should be. Either way, it installed successfully.
The awesome parts. It recognized and works uniformly with my chromebook's touch screen and touch pad. Zero issues. It even recognizes some touch-pad short cuts like two-finger scrolling, etc. It doesn't recognize some of my keys on the keyboard itself, like volume up/down, and brightness up/down, but this is easily managed at the task bar. I also tested Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes to see if games would be sluggish running on a USB stick. I don't know about all games, but that one in particular ran as though it was on my Nexus 7. Super smoothly, with no issues. Aside from it being a bit sluggish running apps for the first time, (it frequently asked if I wanted to wait, or to force close Facebook and others - hitting wait works), I am very impressed with the experience. It's everything I could hope for in a beta android desktop OS! :good: :good:
PS, I'm actually running it right now as I type this.
I got it to install on my Acer R14 with a triple boot, windows 10, ubuntu, remix os. If you use universal usb installer and install directly to a NTFS partition on your hard drive you can use RMXtools to make the data .img whatever size you want. I did it for 50GB and have installed alot of apps and i still have 48GB left. I really like this OS.
Well I tried ubuntu on my chromebook for a while, but wasn't feeling it. I would have to put it on in order to install Remix OS to a hard drive no?
No just use universal usb installer and select non-linux installation and install directly to your ntfs drive. The expand the data file with RMXTools to whatever size you want.

Make your usb bootable with Rufus.
Been using it from USB for weeks now I'll try the Linux USB tool, would be amazing to get this running on the hdd. Does you're touchpad work??
Edit: just read it does work but hasn't for me, been needing my wireless mouse

Is it possible to boot a linux live usb and install remix os on the ssd with Gnome disks?
There has got to be some variation in components with revisions of the C720P, because no OS I have tried to boot on mine has supported the mouse other than Gallium. If I install the GalliumOS kernel on Debian it works fine, but no idea how I would do that with Android. Your touchpad really just worked huh? Not for me, not in the version of RemixOS I downloaded from the Jide site last night, nor in the hacked edition or whatever it's called here on XDA.
My laptop Asus X8AIJ very old since 2005.....

Wiping HDD and installing Remix os on it

I have an old netbook that is pretty slow, it would be nice if I can install remix os as the only OS on that laptop. no boot from USB, no dual boot with windows, just push on button and remix os boots up.
For example, when I boot up ubuntu from usb there is the option to wipe hdd and install ubuntu on it. Would be nice if remix os had similar feature.

If your netbook is old (perhaps with 32bit cpu only), you'll have to take into account, that Remix OS will not start because there are problems with the graphics system.
Post "Installing Remix OS to Hard Drive or Virtual Machine without additional tools" describes how to use the built in formatting tool "cfdisk" for deleting old partitions and creating new partitions and setting up Remix OS in the next steps.
If you don't mind using additional tools like "PartedMagic" you'll find a description how to prepare a hdd and how to install Remix OS in Post "Remix OS on Hard Drive or Virtual Machine - Installation and (OTA) Update"

Can't install RemixOS to USB stick on some NVIDIA graphics systems.

I tried to install RemixOS to a USB stick, but got the same blank screen as I previously had gotten when trying to install Linux Mint on my system with an NVIDIA GTX 970 video card. Turns out some newer NVIDIA graphics cards do not have video support until the drivers are actually installed, unlike my previous AMD card.
What I had to do to install Mint was to use recovery mode on the Live CD, then use the "NOMODESET" command for basic video graphics to be able to see the install screens.
Even using "NOMODESET" for the USB install wouldn't help very much for RemixOS since there's no way to install the official NVIDIA graphics drivers after the OS boots like you can in Linux (that I know of).
Is there any workaround? For now, I have to use RemixOS through VirtualBox on my main PC to test and play around with the OS because of this.

Fresh/Clean Install in Single Boot Configuration, Possible?

I have a few PCs and Laptops with no OS currently installed plus the HD has limited space so I don't want to waste time and HD space by first installing Windows or Linux and then installing Remix in dual-boot configuration.
There should be a way to install Remix OS on PC with Fresh/Clean Install in Single Boot Configuration
Install as Android-x86

Burn ISO with any tool, the boot to resident mode, before selecting Resident Mode press TAB and delete (SRC= DATA=) to end, then type INSTALL=1

I have a ASUS T100 tablet PC and it has a x86 uefi bootloader. im trying to install remixOS as a standalone OS. after I do your instructions do you need to edit the grub file so it boots (not sure how to do this) and which OS should I use 32 bit or 64 bit? last time I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...nt/winapp-android-x86-installer-uefi-t3225748 to install the 64 bit version on my tablet but the new 3.0 OS doesn't work with this tool.

Thanks for the info, I tried this and it installed and booted from the installer menu however when I reboot the PC I find that the Android-x86 installer fails to create a boot partition.
I tried all possible combinations, Grub without EFI, Grub with EFI, both varitions on MBR and GPT, etc. nothing works. Even tried x86 and x64 installations

Try hitting tab
then the spacebar, then put INSTALL=1 press enter it will bring up Android X86 installer for you to format the hard drive and install on to it. This will allow it to boot without the USB drive
When I hit TAB, nothing happens. ;-/
