1 Introduction
==============
I've tried to perform the system installation [1] twice in a laptop
with no avail.
I'm using the ISO whose URL is [3] and is mentioned in [2] and whose
SHA512 is [12].
Any help to solve this issue is appreciated.
2 Attempts
==========
2.1 First attempt
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In this attempt, I used the terminal based graphical interface. The
final result was that when booting, my laptop showed the GRUB shell.
This was probably caused because I had Ubuntu installed and I didn't
format the EFI partition (i.e. I didn't change the default option "No"
of "Format the partition?" [4]). In this attempt, I used this
partition configuration [5].
The congratulations screen [8] was shown and these messages [9] were
shown for a short time before the laptop started the reboot after the
installation.
2.2 Second attempt
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In this attempt, I used the terminal based graphical interface and the
same partition configuration [5]. The final result was that when
booting, my laptop showed "Operating System Not Found" [7].
This time I answered "Yes" to "Format the partition?" [6] in the EFI
partition at the partition configuration step.
The congratulations screen [8] was shown and these messages [10] were
shown for a short time before the laptop started the reboot after the
installation.
3 Additional information
========================
The following is the configuration of my BIOS [11]. As you can see,
the "Boot Mode" is set to "UEFI".
