Recently I have bought a Lenovo G500 laptop and it shipped with UEFI instead of BIOS for having compatibility with Windows 8. It the laptop came without OS and I need to install some OS to use it. As I don't like windows that much I have tried to installed Linux in the same. But every attempt went to vain and I am not able to install linux. Oh by the way I have tried openSUSE 13.1, 12.4, Ubuntu, Fedora and also Redhat. But no luck. For all the OS it is booting from CD or USB, but when I am selecting installation, nothing is coming to screen, it goes black. I am not able to understand what goes wrong. I have tried to disable the UEFI and select legacy BIOS mode. But for all the case same result. Oh one more thing, in Lenovo's website they are providing driver for SUSE, so that mean linux can be installed in the laptop and it is supported. But don't know how. For the same already contacted the Lenovo support, but they told only for windows they can support not for Linux and it is not supported to install Linux in the laptop (as they never heard about Linux itself :p).
So can any one help me out to solve the issue. Any help will be appreciable.
Thank you in advance.
