Hi, guys. I have two 64 bits legacy (BIOS) machines. On the first machine, when I chose to boot with Peppermint-10-20191210-amd64 or trisquel-mini_8.0_i686, the same thing happens: A black screen appears, then the computer's vendor logo (Positivo) shows up and the Ventoy menu appears once again. No matter how many times I try to boot with those OSs, this always happens on this computer.
However, both Peppermint and Trisquel Mini boots just fine on the second machine, which is also a BIOS-only 64 bits computer. Just to show you, I've taken two photos of the trisquel-mini_8.0_i686 running on this second computer:

As we can see on the above figure, this computer doesn't support EFI/UEFI mode.

@estevaog3
This is an old issue. I will close it now.
If you still have problem with latest Ventoy release, you can reopen the issue.
