Package: installation-reports Boot method: USB stick Image version: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/jessie_di_beta_1/amd64/iso-cd/debian-jessie-DI-b1-amd64-netinst.iso Date: 25 Sep 2014 Machine: MSI GE40 2PC-481US Processor: I7 Memory: 8GB Partitions: During the install I was able to shrink the Win Partition and add an Ext4 and Swap partition. All this worked well.
Output of lspci -knn (or lspci -nn): 00: Intel stuff 01: Nvidia Video 03: Atheros Ethernet 04: Realtek Wireless Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [ O] Detect network card: [ E] Configure network: [ E] Detect CD: [ O] Load installer modules: [ O] Detect hard drives: [ O] Partition hard drives: [ O] Install base system: [ O] Clock/timezone setup: [ O] User/password setup: [ O] Install tasks: [ O] Install boot loader: [ OE] Overall install: [ E] Comments/Problems: With the exception of WIFI device requiring firmware loaded (known problem), install went smoothly. Told it to ignore network setup. But on reboot, the Grub2 menu appears, and upon selecting the Debian/Linux option ... it hangs. I see the two grub2 messages, about linux then about initrd, but then it stops. I can use grub2 to boot to Win8.1 and to the uefi-bios though. I've turned off FastStart in Win 8.1 and SecureBoot in uefi-bios. The startup in uefi-bios remains set to uefi as that's how the Win is installed. Will try a wheezy installation next and see what happens. ------------------------------------------------ Bruce LaZerte Ontario, Canada
