Successfully created a bootable USB Stick and it boots into the menu. When proceeding there is about 5 seconds of activity on my USB stick then a black square appears and no further activity; waited 5 minutes but no further activity..
I created the USB Stick 3 times using Gnome Disks, Mint Image Writer and the dd command. Each time the same behaviour.
My hardware is a Toshiba Satellite Pro i5, 12Gb RAM, ssd drive, Intel 5500 Video.
The imahe was siduction-16.1.0-patience-xfce-amd64-201612240021.iso
Any suggestions welcomed.
