I am having issues installing 12.10 on a laptop from bootable USB Drive 4GB FAT32. Also I changed order on BIOS to boot from USB.

But only I see is the black screen with

SYSLINUX 4.06 EDD 4.06-pre7 Copyright (C) 1994-2012 H. Peter Anvin et al

I tried to install 12.10 into my older laptop using the same bootable USB drive just to be sure, and it's all works fine!

I have also trying different USB drives, but results were the same. So it looks like there is nothing wrong with my bootable USB drives. Something is wrong with my laptop, but I can't figure out what exactly, because it's very new and Windows7 boots and runs just great. I Googled but found nothing useful.

My laptop is really a small one:

  • Acer AOD270
  • Protcessor: Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N26OO 1.60 GHz
  • RAM: 1 GB
  • Windows 7 Starter 32 bit
  • It has no CD drive

Any help would be really appreciated please.
