I'm trying to install Ubuntu 16.04.04-server-adm64.iso on a Lanner FW-7573B appliance.
Usually I've used Ubuntu 14.04 on the appliance, but I wanted to upgrade on Ubuntu 16.04, but for some reason it doesn't work. I've checked out every available post regarding this topic and none of the solution works for me.
For example:
I can't boot from USB: Error setting up gfxboot
or
Can't run/install Ubuntu from USB: "Error setting up gfxboot"
and many, many other posts too.
Just to sum it up again, I've tried to...:
- Change the boot order
- Type in
help
and pressenter
when being in boot menu This is the menu I mean (nothing happens) - Start the installation with boot parameters (When I do this, nothing happens and after a while "Could not allocate memory" hint appears) Like this
Example for boot parameters I've used: install quiet splash nomodeset cli console=ttyS0,115200n8
So I'm totally stuck in this boot:
menu. I thought it probably could be a hardware issue because the appliance I'm using is quite old. But after installing Ubuntu 14.04 I could do a "do-release-upgrade"
to upgrade on ubuntu 16.04 which works perfectly fine. This means there must be a way to install Ubuntu 16.04 right from the beginning by using an USB stick, or am I wrong?
I have no idea what else I could do now. I mean, it works basically, but it would be annoying to have to install Ubuntu 14.04 primarily and then upgrade it to 16.04, because it takes way more time than isntalling it directly from USB.
I'd be glad for any help and let me know if there are missing some important informations.
Best regards!
