I'm attempting to revive a 10 year old mini ITX motherboard and make a small form factor ubuntu server. I'm not sure my disc burner works anymore and I don't have any blank disk media, so I'd like to install ubuntu using a USB drive.
I have created a USB Ubuntu server installer using ubuntu's startup disk creater on my ubuntu laptop running 21.10, as well as in windows 10 with Rufus using various options (grub, dos, dd, etc).
It works and boots into the installer when I use it in a 5 year old compaq laptop.
When I try it in the ZOTAC motherboard, it will attempt to boot from the USB, but immediately hangs after the words 'ISOLINUX 6.04 20191223 EHDD Copyright (C) 1994-2015 H. Peter Anvin et al' are displayed at the top of the monitor. I get a flashing cursor underneath and nothing else.
