I am keen to install LMDE 6 on my system. I am trying to install it in a dual boot system. Some initial information:
- My computer is a Lenovo Yoga C940, with Intel i7 and 16 gb Ram
- I used to have a dual boot of windows 10 and Zorin OS, which was done for me at a computer repair store
- Because I wanted to switch distros and increase the space allocated to linux, I deleted the Zorin OS partition, resized the windows partition and merged all the free space together with minitool
- I disabled secure boot and fast startup
- I deleted the old ubuntu grub
- I downloaded the ISO image, verified it and burned it to a USB using Etcher
When I boot and press F12, I see the USB, and can select the option to start LMDE Cinnamon. However it gets stuck at the LM logo for a very long time and does not go ahead. When I pressed esc, it was just an underscore.
I tried to boot using the compatibility mode, and I got a black screen with code, where it said over and over again
usb 3-6: reset high speed USB device number 4 using xchi_hcd and then that this timed out. I have attached the images below.
What does this mean? I am pretty new to all this (and using Zorin OS was a sheltered linux experience I guess) and am not sure what I should do. Do I need to try with a different USB device? Do I need to try LMDE 5 or something? Or some other distro all together?
Best,
