Hi John, If this is still relevant, unresolved, understanding you Ubuntu or whatever the distro you want as requirement.
Try to walk through this list in order: 1. Is your bios up to date? If not, update it first. That often helps with new shiny things PC. 2. Unless you have done something to the bios settings, boot priorities or started another installation, you should be able to get the openSuse installation going. - I would walk back the bios changes you might have made and get that going for piece of mind and to become familiar with the bios settings - particularly related to UEFI and various legacy settings. It is not given that disabling UEFI makes magically things work. These days UEFI is more reliable than disabling it because MS Win needs it, and needs it in locked down state. - UEFI typically depends on number of bios settings - and often the PC does not boot until the only combination is right. - You can always use the "Reset CMOS" jumper to set BIOS to defaults, if there is no Bios way resetting it to defaults. 3. Another thing is to try, after you are back to default bios settings would be to choose the SSD as boot in the boot menu (F11). Bios sometimes sets the last used boot device as default for the next boot. 4. Failing all the above, try to make yourself opensuse 42.3 usb boot stick. It just worked, so the chances are that it will just work again. It would not achieve your favorite distro setup, but it could take you to the right track and turn the brick to useful device until you have new Ubuntu in a few months. Hope you get it going, Tomas On Mon, 2018-02-19 at 22:28 -0800, John Jason Jordan wrote: > On Mon, 19 Feb 2018 21:51:49 -0800 > Russell Senior <russ...@personaltelco.net> dijo: > > I tried several different USB ports and I also burned it to a DVD, > and > it always hangs.
