I can navigate the initial menus of the installer but when I try to go further the system errors out into single user mode. No real filesystems are mounted, the only thing there is the initramfs. I have an error saying that no mountable filesystem could be found. There is no /dev/sdb file that should correspond to my USB stick. In the dmesg there is the following suspicious text.

I know someone has been unable to boot Linux using a CD drive but setting that up would be annoying for me. I'll probably have to do that though. The person who booted Linux on the laptop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWlNAccsBY0 .

Even in UEFI mode it still doesn't work.

Also, the exact error message on boot at the busybox prompt is:

Unable to find a medium containing a live file system

So the problem only appears to affect Ubuntu based distros https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/1241589/comments/61

Wasn't Trisquel going to be moved to being based on Debian?

In any case, I guess I can use GNewsense for now.

No but it was based on Debian in the ancient past. (gNewSense did transition vice versa)

Nope, gNewSense does not appear to work either.

For some reason the workaround at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/1241589/comments/55 does not work for me. At the prompt I cannot find a device for my USB stick. The only device found is my harddrive at /dev/sda.

So I finally setup a CD drive and a CD and it doesn't work like it does in the guy's video. First of all it is not recognized in the Boot Manager menu in UEFI mode and second of all it fails with the same "Unable to find a medium containing a live file system" error in legacy mode.

So I tried the unreleased 7.01 version and it works.
