On my daughter's brand spanking new Lenovo Ideapad $something Touch, we needed to set the BIOS to 'legacy mode' in order to have it boot into the Ubuntu installer and then choose some obscure linux kernel parameter for it to switch to a usable graphics mode for the installer to complete. For some reason she wanted her laptop on Ubuntu and to use it herself from that point on. - P -- Peter N. M.
