!!! Amazingly, this worked. It hung for about two minutes after the hardware detect, and after I'd given up, continued going. Here's the boot options I used: boot: expert noapic nousb acpi=off I tried using fewer, but couldn't get it to work with just noapic or nousb, etc. Do I need to do something to re-enable these things once I have a functional Debian system? Awesome. Thanks! The install now hangs during the install software phase, and for I believe a much more innocuous reason. I was able to switch to console 4 (CTRL-ALT-F4), which displays the message: To continue, enter "Yes"; to abort, enter "No:, but there's no prompt to answer it. (The question relates to "untrusted packages", presumably since it can't get the GPG keys.) I haven't figured out how to pass this threshold yet, but maybe there's a way. I'm optimistic. If you have thoughts, I'd love to hear them. Thanks for all the help!
