Can't boot without nomemset

cant boot without nomemset

No matter what I try to run, (live or otherwise) system freezes on boot at some point. I was trying ubuntu plain, and a post somewhere with a similar problem said mate worked for them, so I’ve been trying this version… but so far to no avail.

Seems to me an issue with the intel drivers, (hardware) and maybe the only fix is to drop a video card in there. But i thought I’d try here to see if anyone has some new ideas, I tried everything I could find on the web.

~$ xrandr

I had a similar issue with my Laptop (XPS15 9560). I changed my grub config file to add kernel parameters and it solved the problem (I also installed Nvidia drivers).
I changed the following line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_rev_override=5 nouveau.runpm=0"

Then ran $ sudo update-grub

The grub file can be found at /etc/default/grub.

It would be better if you could also give the hardware details.

Thanks I gave it shot. no go.

Is this what you mean? It’s an old Hp i7.
