I have tried to boot a USB thumb drive, and a DVD on the ASUS GL551JM, I get a "machine error" when i try to boot. (when I have time I will begin disabling hardware and try try try) Strange thing is 3 other computers have no issue whatsoever. I disabled EUFI, CSM enabled, LM17 booted fine but has EUFI support. ( Installed LM in EUFI!) So I can't even boot the LinuxLite OS at all on my new laptop. I wanted to play with installing it but it isn't possible to boot, I have grub installed but I dont really know much about it to try to get LL to boot from GRUB(I did see a post in the forum here that says it isn't possible yet.) So for the moment i am stuck, however I do have multibooting from 3 other pre-EUFI computers running it just fine. Nowadays EUFI is just a necessary evil that MUST be supported from the start.
