Good morning, Tobias. Very good questions you have. I think I can
answer the first half-way, and I am sure I can answer your second
question. Do you get past the boot screen with Oneiric and Lucid? In
the boot screen (GRUB), to boot into different operating systems
(different versions of Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu/etc, Windows or other
OS), when inside GRUB, select between the different operating
systems by using the down and up keys on the keyboard. Then, press
the enter/return key on the keyboard to boot the selected operating
system. Do you know this is a VGA problem? If so, I have no clue how
to solve this, unless you install drivers for VGA. If you install
VGA driver software, you are installing this inside the operating
system, not GRUB. Therefore, if this is a GRUB problem, the problem
will still persist with GRUB, even after installing driver software.<br>
<br>
For your second question, this is a Kubuntu-only support centre.
Ubuntu questions should be asked in <font color="#3333ff"><u><a href="http://ubuntuforums.org" target="_blank">Ubuntu Forums</a></u></font> or <font color="#3333ff"><u><a href="http://askubuntu.com" target="_blank">Ask Ubuntu</a></u></font>.
I hope this helps!<br>
<br>
In Christ,<br>

I guess there must be a way to see the EFI
partition from inside Windows - sometimes called
the 'system' or 'hidden' partition. Not sure
though, because first thing I do with a new
computer is to erase Windows completely.<br>
<br>
However, on a EFI-system, when installing Linux
you'll have to create an EFI partition (around 100
MB) anyway and put grub-efi on it. On my system
that is sda2. As far as I can tell there is no
way of getting rid of this UEFI rigmarole and
revert to the good, old BIOS.<br>
<br>
