It is strange, usually all the linux booted okay. And I did boot debian-kfreebsd, but that was a pretty long while ago.

Just for a comparison sake: the mate desktop version of linux mint:

Code: Select all

linuxmint-18.1-mate-64bit
runs okay.

strange the installer forces to install the boot loader, with linux on a partition already installed, I would like to skip it. Well lets see how it runs on vb first. ...

...

Well xfce version runs fine after install.
