I'm trying to install Linux Mint 12 (DVD, 64-bit) on a new Dell XPS 17 (L702X), which came preloaded with Windows 7. I first tried installing from a USB drive, using unetbootin, then "Universal USB Installer". In both cases, I restarted, then selected USB in the BIOS. Whether I select "Start Linux Mint" or "Start Linux Mint (compatibility mode)" the boot stalls at:
Code: Select all
[ n.nnnnnn] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI removable disk
I attempted to burn the iso onto a DVD-R instead. This time (selecting either "Start Linux Mint" or "Start Linux Mint (compatibility mode)"), the boot stalls at:
Code: Select all
[ n.nnnnnn] sr 5:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0
[ n.nnnnnn] sr 5:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 5
Cheers, and thanks in advance.
