Tried to install the Core on my Levono laptop and it hangs on the loading Zorin logo screen. Cant boot live from usb drive, cant install it. Am using a usb flash drive. You have any clue why it hangs on the loading screen ? I clicked F1 and shows an error like "Critical error....I don remember, something like the kernel stopped working". Dont remember exactly.

Hi,

try booting again and as soon as you see the Zorin boot menu on the top line, press the "Tab" key and type "nomodeset" and press "Enter". If that doesn't work, start again and this time type "acpi=off" and press "Enter" again.

See if that helps.

Regards Wolfman :D
