Lenovo Ideapad 110 AMD笔记本无法从Ubuntu Live USB启动求助

Hey there, let's work through this frustrating uncompression error you're facing when trying to boot your Ubuntu 14.04 USB drive on your Lenovo Ideapad 110 AMD. This issue usually ties back to either a faulty USB setup, BIOS/UEFI settings conflicts, or a corrupted ISO file. Here are actionable steps to resolve it:

1. Recreate Your USB Boot Drive (Carefully) #

It’s possible the initial write to your USB drive was incomplete or corrupted, even if you followed the official tutorial. Try these tweaks:

• Use a different USB drive (preferably 8GB+ and formatted to FAT32) – some older drives have reliability issues.
• Switch to a dedicated USB creation tool that supports direct disk imaging (like Rufus, in DD mode if available) instead of just file copying.
• Verify your ISO first: Check the MD5 hash of your downloaded Ubuntu 14.04 ISO against the official value. On Windows, you can use this command in Command Prompt:

  certutil -hashfile ubuntu-14.04.6-desktop-amd64.iso MD5
  

  If the hash doesn’t match, re-download the ISO from the official source.

2. Adjust BIOS/UEFI Settings on Your Lenovo Ideapad #

Lenovo laptops often have default settings that block non-Microsoft operating systems. Boot into your BIOS (usually by pressing F2 or F12 during startup) and tweak these:

• Disable Secure Boot: This is the most common culprit – it prevents unsigned bootloaders from running.
• Toggle Boot Mode: Try switching between UEFI and Legacy BIOS mode. Ubuntu 14.04 has limited UEFI support, so Legacy might work better for your hardware.
• Turn off Fast Boot: This feature skips some hardware initialization steps that Ubuntu needs to boot properly.
• Change SATA Mode to AHCI: Some Ideapad models default to RAID/IDE mode, which can cause storage-related boot errors.

3. Modify Ubuntu Boot Parameters #

If you can reach the GRUB boot menu (before the error pops up), try modifying the boot command to bypass potential hardware conflicts:

1. When the GRUB menu appears, select the first "Try Ubuntu without installing" option.
2. Press e to edit the boot parameters.
3. Find the line starting with linux and replace quiet splash with nomodeset.
4. Press F10 to boot with these settings. This disables automatic graphics driver loading, which often fixes decompression errors caused by GPU compatibility issues.

4. Double-Check Hardware Health #

You mentioned running Lenovo Diagnostics, but take a minute to confirm you ran the full memory and storage tests. A faulty RAM module or flaky USB port could cause data corruption during boot. Try plugging the USB drive into a different port (preferably a USB 2.0 port, as some USB 3.0 ports have compatibility quirks with older Ubuntu versions).

If All Else Fails #

If none of the above works, it might be a hardware compatibility issue specific to the AMD components in your Ideapad 110 and Ubuntu 14.04’s older kernel. As a last resort, you could try:

• Using the Ubuntu 14.04 Alternate Installer ISO (designed for systems with compatibility issues)
• Upgrading to a newer LTS version of Ubuntu (like 16.04 or 18.04) which has better support for modern AMD hardware.
