This week i bought a new Medion MD60250 (E2228T) laptop as shown above.
Allthough it is a cheap Atom powered laptop it seems well build and works good enough under Windows 10.
I have however been totally unable to install Ubuntu 16.10 on it so far.
I had to do the following to get the standard livedisk to start and give me a desktop.
- Disabled "fast boot" and "secure boot" in my UEFI.
- Set the GFX mode to "1024x786x32" in the grub.cfg file of the USB drive. (otherwise the screen goes blank after 2 seconds of showing me the desktop).
- Set the "NOACPI" and "ACPI=off" flags in the grub.cfg file of the USB drive (otherwise the boot process fails on a ACPI call).
During the boot process the computer goes into hibernation twice and has be woken back up by pressing a button... it then continues to boot normally as expected.
It eventually shows me the desktop and all seems fine... however the laptops internal 64GB SSD (RAM ?) storage is not shown... only the USB storage.
The latest Debian and Arch Linux install images both find the drive with no problem just not Ubuntu 16.10 (or 17.04 beta) :-({|=
fdisk -l only shows the USB drive and a number of 64MiB ram disks with according to Google are normal.
I would hate to be thwarted at the last hurdle, so if anyone has any suggestions on how to find and mount the drive for installation I would be very greatfull ](*,)
