Hello,

i have an Acer Switch 11. 64 bit CPU with an 32 bit EFI. It's always complicated to get Linux working on this Notebook.

During the installation of Deepin, i got an error message after 70% percent. It says: 'Package grub-efi-ia32 is not availabe, but is refered to by another package'
So the problem seems to be the 32 bit EFI, and the 32 bit Version of Grub can't get installed.

How can i fix it?

Ok, i can boot now.
I followed this guide: https://sturmflut.github.io/linux/ubuntu/2015/01/21/installing-ubuntu-15.04-on-baytrail-tablets/

I boot via the install USB Sstick and manually boot to Deepin. The strange thing is that my root partition was read-only.
After is remounted it RW the GUI started and i could connect to my wifi and could install grub-efi-ia32. I also had to start grub-install.

Now i can boot without the usb stick. My root partition is still RO after reboot and i have no sound. But at least one problem solved
