  • select try or install (depending what you want) and then hit f6 and at the end of the line add nomodeset and hit enter. this will disable some video driver stuff that might be causing your issue.

  • Thanks will try that. Should have said also had to disable fast boot and secure boot. Nothing seemed to help. Recently bought the laptop to remove win 10 run Ubuntu

A little bit late since this post is one month old, but if I can help other persons facing the same probleme...
I managed to boot ubuntu and fedora on this model (Lenovo ideapad 330s amd Ryzen 5 2500 u ) by:

  1. Disabling secureboot of the UEFI BIOS (you will easily find how to do this on internet)

  2. Disabling APIC support at the boot.
    In the grub menu just before boot, press e to edit boot options and then add noapic just after the word vmlinuz.

This should do the trick.

  • Does the touchpad work on your laptop? I had the very same problem, but my touchpad is not working at all.
