But I must've done something wrong because whenever I boot normally, I get a screen that has 4 options: Ubuntu, Advanced options for Ubuntu, Memory test (memtest86+), and Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200). No matter what option I choose, the computer restarts and I get the same screen again. I have tried many settings, but to no avail. I am running a Dell DM051 Bios Revison A02. The last time I did the memory test, I ended up getting 68000000+ errors. I can't do a clean install due to the fact that the computer I'm writing this with right now is the only one that connects to the internet. It runs chromeOS and therefore can't create bootable iso's, and I can't turn the Linux settings on. I can only do the basic BASH commands, so I can't do something like fdisk, mount, etc, etc. Also, for some reason, /vmlinuz doesn't exist. Running the 'ls' command, I get (hd0), (hd0,msdos5), (hd0,msdos1), and fd0.
sorry i am no help, but i also see this sometimes when i first turn on(boot-up) my desktop PC , first thing when i wake up in the morning, i dont pick or choose any of the options, i just leave it alone, eventually it just finishes booting up, i am using linux lite 5.0 64bit................ i wish i can prove and show this is a bug in linux lite 5.0, but i cant, nor can i prove it, oh well.
