HP Elitebook 8530

Hi,

I got an HP Elitebook 8530w today and will get a second the next days. It' an interesting laptop:

- 15" 1920x1200 display (maximum)
- Nvidia Quadro FX 770M 512 MB
- Core 2 Duo up to 2.8 GHz
- up to 8 GB DDR2
- HD and DVD (bay can be used for HD)
- Touchpad and Trackpoint
- Fingerprint sensor
- 2x Mini-PCI-Express (full size)
- PCMCIA slot
- eSATA
- Mini Firewire 400
- Modem, Ethernet
- HDMI and VGA
- Very good graphical BIOS with mouse support
- inbuilt testing functions
- Standard battery + additional snap-on battery
- Docking Station with 2x PS/2, Serial, Parallel, VGA, DVI, S-Video, Composite and more
- Webcam optional

The most interesting feature: It boots the Icaros Desktop installer directly from USB! There are a lot of errors displayed, but it also continued after the battclock resource message.
Actually I have to boot in VESA mode until everything is installed. Is the nVidia Quadro FX 770M installed? The chip is based on the GeForce 9600M GT.

Greets, RC.

hi

as I understand in the laptopt only the Intel GMA is currently supported, I have an interesting laptop with an NVIDIA 8400M, but it only works in the Vesa, the desktop version of this card works fine

What error did you encounter, installing Icaros through a USB PenDrive works fine, i would say a very good method that avoids to burn the ISO.
What program did you use to burn the image to the PenDrive? Have you tried another Pendrive?
