[PLUG] Unable to install Alpine Linux on Lenovo N22 ( 4 GM Ram , 64 GB MMC ) Laptop

[Abhijeet]

Hi Plug Team ,

I am trying to install Alpine Linux on my laptop  ( Lenovo N22 / Atom Quad
Core / 64 GM MMC ) after being super successful with my Core 2 Duo as Dev
Box.

The USB boots , installation succeeds but on rebooting the OS is not found
and the laptop is hung on UEFI / BIOS bootable media selection message
window.

I have tried the following
1. Delete all UEFI partitions and install the bootloader on MBR
2. Install with all defaults
3. Disable UEFI and allow only legacy boot in BIOS settings .

All these to no avail . Since the laptop is a pretty small 10 inch Quad
Core Atom processor laptop , I am looking forward to using it for small
personal work + email. But the laptop is just not usable.

Ubuntu works like a charm but it's like a 800 pound gorilla on that puny
machine and uses too much memory to run any Window Manager fast.

Pleading to the linux gods to help me out .
