[NTLUG:Discuss] Linux Mint 17.1 Install Weirdness

[Stephen Davidson]

Task: Upgrade from Linux Mint 13 to Linux Mint 17.1.

Target System: HP Pavillion zv5000 Laptop

Live Boot -- boots up no problem and gives you a fully functional Live
Desktop.

Install -- appears to work correctly w/o errors.

Reboot after install:  Hang, no errors, messages, or anything else. 
Just a cursor flashing in the upper left corner.

Any ideas on where to look?  Or should I bring this to the LIP?

Regards,
Steve
