Hi, I’m trying to install EOS on a partners laptop, and I ran in to problems. She has a Lenovo G51, and it’s currently running Deepin.
I have tried legacy, UEFI and everything like that. Secure Boot is off.
This is what happens whe i run the installer from the USB stick:
I would appreciate some help here. 
Hello @Mr_Ecks
Is this happening as soon as you try to boot on the EndeavourOS live usb?
Exactly.
I get the Endeavour screen, and when I hit Install this happens.
Have you tried adding ACPI=off to the boot parameters?
There is unfortunately no such option in the bios menu.
No you have to add it as a kernel parameter on boot. So when you boot the ISO on UEFI you hit the e on the keyboard for edit. Add it in the line after quite splash.
Edit: Just add it to the end of the line by using the right arrow key until you get to the end.
OK, I added that, but it gave the same result.
You add to the end of the line and I’m not sure if you have to press f10 to save and then enter so it boots on it? That’s what i do on Bios but this is in UEFI mode i take it?
I added it to the end of the line. Here is the result:
I did save it, first to boot, but I’ll try f10.
EDIT:
try enabling legacy usb support in bios. It seems like the usb drive is not discovered by the system.
this might make the usb stick a bit slower (USB2 speeds), but it is still worth a try.
Also try another usb slot. If this is a blue slot (USB 3), try one that is not blue.
On some older laptop of mine USB3 was still a new thing, so it would only boot off from the USB2 slots.
I’ll give that a try.
also make sure secure boot is disabled
So, I tried legacy. With and without adding ACPI=off, and I tried the USB2 slot.
Nate: Secure Boot is off.
hmm, i just realised, you shouldn’t be in a shell at all. the installer works in xfce X11 mode.
Looking at the screenshot, I think there might be a hardware or driver issue.
Can you use Deepin to give info about the hardware?
For example, any of
lspci -vnn inxi -Fxxxc0 hwinfo --short
Ok, I’m on it.

Did you try the live usb in every usb port? You could also try loglevel=0 as kernel parameter.
Yes, and loglevel=0 gave the same result.
