Boot process stuck at Loading modules...

This effect might be observed with some manufacturers, when the firmware of a graphic card is not universally compatible with the latest Linux kernel builds used in BCWipe Total WipeOut. 


In case of USB flash drive


For Legacy boot mode:

  • Open the bootable flash drive created in the Wizard and find the 'syslinux.cfg' file;
  • Edit it with Notepad: add 'BC_DISABLE=video' to the end of the string started with 'APPEND...'. Syslinux.cfg example:
    APPEND root=/dev/ram0 rw init=/init consoleblank=0 loglevel=3 BC_DISABLE=video
  • Save the file, safely eject the flash drive. Boot the target device with this flash drive.

For EFI boot mode:
  • Open the bootable flash drive created in the Wizard and find the 'boot/grub/grub.cfg' file;
  • Edit it with Notepad: add 'BC_DISABLE=video' to the end of the string started with 'linux /vmlinuz.x86_64...'. Grub.cfg example:
    linux /vmlinuz.x86_64 root=/dev/ram0 rw init=/init video=efifb loglevel=3 BC_DISABLE=video
  • Save the file, safely eject the flash drive. Boot the target device with this flash drive.



In case of ISO image

For Legacy boot mode:
  • Open the C:\Program Files (x86)\Jetico\BCWipe Total WipeOut\iso\isolinux.cfg file with Notepad.
  • Add 'BC_DISABLE=video' to the end of the string started with 'APPEND...', save changes (admin rights required). Isolinux.cfg example:
    APPEND root=/dev/ram0 rw init=/init consoleblank=0 loglevel=3 BC_DISABLE=video
  • Create a new ISO in the Wizard and use it when booting.

For EFI boot mode:
  • Open the C:\Program Files (x86)\Jetico\BCWipe Total WipeOut\common\boot\grub\grub.cfg file with Notepad.
  • Add 'BC_DISABLE=video' to the end of the string started with 'linux /vmlinuz.x86_64...', save changes (admin rights required). Grub.cfg example:
    linux /vmlinuz.x86_64 root=/dev/ram0 rw init=/init video=efifb loglevel=3 BC_DISABLE=video
  • Create a new ISO with the Wizard and use it when booting.


In case of EXE

    (Only EFI boot mode is supported)


Method 1 (before creating win_wiper.exe with the Wizard)


  • Open the C:\Program Files (x86)\Jetico\BCWipe Total WipeOut\common\boot\grub\grub.cfg file with Notepad.
  • Add 'BC_DISABLE=video' to the end of the string started with 'linux /vmlinuz.x86_64...', save changes (admin rights required). Grub.cfg example:
    linux /vmlinuz.x86_64 root=/dev/ram0 rw init=/init video=efifb loglevel=3 BC_DISABLE=video
  • Create EXE with the Wizard


Method 2 (after successful running win_wiper.exe on the target machine and before reboot)

  • Open 'Disk Management' and find the BCWipe TWO partition created by win_wiper program. Assign a drive letter to the partition.
  • Open Windows Explorer and the partition with the assigned drive letter and  find the file  'boot/grub/grub.cfg'
  • Add 'BC_DISABLE=video' to the end of the string started with 'linux /vmlinuz.x86_64...', save changes.
            Grub.cfg example:
            linux /vmlinuz.x86_64 root=/dev/ram0 rw init=/init video=efifb loglevel=3 BC_DISABLE=video
  • Reboot
