I created a Mint 21 Cinnamon DVD and am attempting to Install on an old HP Pavilion dv9000 laptop that has an AMD TURION64 and an Nvidia GEFORCE GO 7150m Graphics Card.
After I boot from dvd, I see the screen that shows “GNU GRUB VERSION 2.06” at the top, and then the following options below it
Start Linux Mint 21 Cinnamon 64-bit
Start Linux Mint 21 Cinnamon 64-bit (compatibility mode)
OEM INSTALL (for manufacturers)
Test Memory
Regardless of which option I select (I have tried all) it just goes to a black screen with the cursor blinking in the upper left corner. I left it there thinking it was taking a while to load, but even after an hour it’s still the same.
I am a Linux noob and am trying to install so I can get started learning some of the basics. Is there any way to get this installed?
The laptop currently has Mint 8 installed on it but I can’t do anything and it doesn’t allow me to update anything i just get errors that server’s can’t be accessed.
Thanks all.
