Hi there,
I'll start by saying sorry for the long story and spelling mistakes. 
I have an old Acer Aspire 7720 3G ram and a supersonic intel duo core 800Mhz-2Ghz cpu.
This came in the day with Windows Vista (don't ban me) pre installed.
The bios has zero options besides selecting boot device order.
I tried installing Bodhi 5 legacy (32bit) version and while this runs (considering the laptop pretty smooth even) i can't help but noticing that the support for 32bit is very much EOL.
So i tried installing Bodhi 7....and while everything installed as expected on reboot the laptop left me hanging displaying : No bootable device found.... no worries the same thing happens when trying to install kubuntu 22.04 so it's not Bodhi 7 related.
However when i install Bodhi 5 32bit and than install a 64bit kubuntu for example, to my surprise, i can dual boot and BOTH versions work. So the laptop supports 64bit.
While i (probably) can do the same using Bodhi 5 and Bodhi 7 it's not a clean solution so i'm wondering if anybody here can think of another solution...
I allready tried to install without an EFI partition but then the install fails so i'm at the end of my rope.
Any ideas, tips or tricks are welcome.
PS : I really would like to get this working because i always had a love/hate relationship with E and bu the looks of it Bodhi scraps the hate part
grtz
