I have an old hp pavilion dv6 and I installed windows 7. Then i tried installing Ubuntu 24.04 and the USB wouldn’t boot, it just showed “GRUB” in the top left of the screen. I tried with another USB and the same issue emerged.

    A solution: Install Ubuntu 22.04 instead and upgrade to 24.04. I had the exact same problem with my gfs dv6. No matter what I tried, I could not get the laptop to boot successfully from the Ubuntu 24.04 USB stick.
