I am trying to install Ubuntu on a new laptop that came with Windows 8. I've disabled UEFI and enabled booting from USB, but when the laptop loads from the USB it hangs at "SYSLINUX 4.06 EDD 2012-10-23 Copyright (C) 1994-2012 H Peter Anvin". I've tested the USB on a known good system and it shows the boot menu and loads the OS without a problem, but on this system it hangs at boot with the copyright info. This has happened with both Ubuntu and Ubuntu-Gnome images.
Can anyone give me some ideas on what to troubleshoot here? I've never had an issue like this on any system I've worked with and I don't know where to start.
