I've installed OI many times on a lot of different hardware.
I've learned that a number of things are very important when it comes to
booting on a USB stick:
1. Make sure that you actually use the .usb image file to write a usb
stick (yes, it's obvious, I know)
2. Make sure that you use the right blocksize, i.e. dd on linux:
$ sudo dd if=OI-hipster-text-20201031.usb of=/dev/sdb bs=1M
^^^^^
3. Make sure that your BIOS is updated to newest release, even though
the newest release may be 5 years old.
4. Avoid UEFI of any kind.
