Yes I have Ubuntu installed(linuxmint) in uefi mode, no issues at all.
when i boot from the usb, i get a prompt in left top corner, just blinks. let it go overnight, no change. i choose "sandisk" and it just re-boots.
when i boot from the dvd i get "machine error" in large font. then it just re-boots itself, but never gets into
the boot menu, just hangs. cant get into bios. the funny thing is that if i push the eject button on the dvd it starts to boot up and works fine.
Any ideas ? I appreciate the help ALOT. i just spent $1100 on this laptop and want LL on it. I wonder if its a code in the preliminary boot code of LL causing a hardware misconfiguration ? I will try disabling serial port, sound, ethernet, usb. unable to disable nvidia card.
