Comments/Problems:
The installer doesn't load. Only a line with "syslinux" in it appears for a moment then a text cursor is displayed on a black screen and the fan speeds ups. Nothing more happens.
The usb stick works on a lenovo ThinkPad E135. An usb stick with Debian 8 works on the acer Aspire one.
