I am trying to install Ubuntu 16.04.3 on a Lenovo ThinkStation (with Nvidia Quadro P2000) in dual boot with Windows 10 Pro 1709 already installed.

The first error I ran into was the following

BERT: Can't request iomem region

I got past this error by changing the Secure Boot option in the BIOS.

Now I am getting the following error

nouveau fifo sched_error 08

Initially it would not even load the Live Ubuntu. I enabled the nomodeset option using the GUI (pressing F6) on the INSTALL UBUNTU screen, and then I was able to load the Live Ubuntu.

Now when I select the option to Install Ubuntu it does not detect the Windows installation (In the past I have installed multiple times and it always detected the current Windows installation and provided the option to install Ubuntu alongside) and wants to format the disk.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you need more specific information.

  • Have you turned off Windows fast start up? http://askubuntu.com/questions/843153/ubuntu-16-showing-windows-10-partitions But if you are using f6, that is a BIOS boot, If Windows 10 pre-installed it is UEFI boot and you want Ubuntu in UEFI boot mode. You have to then boot installer in UEFI mode and add nomodeset on Linux line. See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI – oldfred Oct 26 '17 at 15:47
  • Boot Mode is set to AUTO.Boot priority at UEFI first. Now I am back at the "BERT: Cant request iomem region " error. – iamthecreator Oct 27 '17 at 08:12
  • Ok. I was able to install Ubuntu after setting the nomodeset.I was still having problems booting so I again set the nomodeset on the startup screen and was able to boot.I then went to Software and driver update and selected the NVIDIA drivers (it was using the XORG nouveau drivers.The issue has been resolved. – iamthecreator Oct 27 '17 at 12:28
  • @iamthecreator could you post the solution as answer to this post? Makes it easier for other readers to spot the proper solution to this issue. Even I overlooked the solution in the comments :P – Erik van de Ven Nov 22 '17 at 21:08

I was able to install Ubuntu after setting the nomodeset parameter. I was still having problems booting so I again set nomodeset on the startup screen and now I was able to boot.

I then went to Software and driver update and selected the NVIDIA drivers (it was using the XORG nouveau drivers).

The issue has been resolved.
