With the older kernels I think there is no good support for skylike processors. /Kristoffer 2016-05-19 19:13 GMT+02:00, Jude DaShiell <jdashiel@xxxxxxxxx>: > On machines with fast hard drives used in drive sleds, it helps to have > the hard drive pulled out a little to give the dvd a chance to start > then push the hard drive home and lock it in the sled for installation. > Other machines could have had their bios/cmos entries messed up in which > case it needs sighted assistance to straighten that out since these are > otherwise inaccessible.
