black screen when trying to boot load linux from flashdrive
2008 macbook, trying to install linux mint from USB flashdrive
can boot load from same flashdrive on newer macbook air, but not on the 2008 macbook.
Flashdrive shows up in bootload menu, but when selecting it, screen goes black.
updated from previous OS to yosemite, but same issue persists
Is this a good question?
