I have an HP Compaq dc7900 Convertible Minitower from 2006:
- 80GB (3.5”) SATA 3.0GB/s with NCQ and Smart IV
- Intel Core 2 Duo E8500
I can install Ubuntu on it from a USB stick and everything seems to work fine, but when I finish and reboot the pc, grub will be shown but When I continue I get just a black screen with a blinking cursor
I tried Linux Mint and OpenSuse as well but it seems there is something forbidden in the Bios.
Installing Windows 8 works fine.
