Install gentoo

second for installing Ubuntu

>I just made a bootable usb with unetbootin and defaults, this is what I get booting it
unetbootin has a tendency to give you a bad grub configuration file.

mount the USB stick and run blkid

then edit EFI/BOOT/grub.cfg
and set the root= to something like root=live:UUID=5CAD-3C93
but actual UUID

Also, on Linux, if you are only going to have a boot image on a USB stick then dd is actually the best universal way of doing it. if you dd if=yourimage.iso of=/dev/sdg bs=1024 where the USB stick is at sdg then it'll boot on any machine even if it's got a buggy older BIOS.

nevermind acpi, my man rufus just sorted it out. booted to the arch root terminal now

thanks bud. I did select dd on rufus and it looks like im good to go now
