I bought the equipment for HP Asus MOCA-AR Calcite-GL8E Desktop Motherboard MINI-ITX 5188-5155 Calcite 6502 which says it is good for Linux. I try to boot from a USB stick, created through the Ubuntu "create a USB bootable flash drive" but after showing the Ubuntu icon it just hangs. I've exhausted the different forums. Other than buying new hardware, which people know to work, does anyone have suggestions, or is there even a link that gives the steps to boot this device an any other OS so I can verify all the hardware is compatible?
