Have you tried holding down F6
during a cold boot, select language, then F6
again to get the options on the lower right to show up. Select nolapic
, EDD=On
, and nomodeset
. Press ENTER. Next, down arrow to the second line which is the Install line. DO NOT PRESS ENTER OR A LEFT OR RIGHT ARROW!! Now back space and delete quiet and splash with nomodeset
. Now press ENTER. The installation will begin and if it hangs up now, you will see what was the last process/script that completed.
You should go to the grub, where you choose the booting operating system. If it doesn't appear by default, you should press shift until you see it. Then choose the Ubuntu, or Install Ubuntu (it depends, you will see it hopefully), go to it with the arrows and press the 'e' key. Here go to the line which contains "quiet splash" at the end and add "acpi=off" after these words. Then press F10 to boot with these settings. you should be aware of that it changes only for the initial boot, after it, when you want to install Linux, you need to change it again.
