Shellkr@haydar70 What happened? Did you get any errors?
@shellkr on one machine the installation (from usb key) freezed during boot, on another box i saw only weird artifacts
@haydar70 How much RAM did you have on that box? When you install from usb everything goes into RAM. If that is an issue you might have to mount and use the disk instead.
@shellkr one box has 2 GB RAM, the other 4GB. I don't think that this is the cause of the problem
☠️ Grumpy Oldman@haydar70 wait… "from the USB key"? My guess, the key is buggy – have had the problem with "cheap" sticks years ago w Debian installations.
@grmpyoldman @haydar70 Yes, that should be enough.. How did you put it on the usb? Tools like Unetbootin is unreliable and should not be used. Also.. did you check the image checksum?
@shellkr I used dd, checksum was ok. The distrowatch article suggested it has something to do with non-UEFI boot.
@haydar70 But should it not just error-out then? Freeze (or timeout issues) sounds like an odd problem. Also... did you get the same issue in VM? Anyway.. you have already thought of the simple solutions and digging deeper might not be worth it.
@shellkr different issues. On the HP Compaq 6510b the screen wents black. On the Lifebook P701: https://quitter.se/attachment/3690933
@haydar70 That picture didn't say much.. is it the artifacts at the top you wanted to show? What did it say after "booting..." ?
@shellkr exactly, after boot artifacts at the top appear. They are "moving" for a few seconds and then freeze.Same when using safe mode,VESA
@haydar70 I am no expert but it doesn't feel like an issue with UEFI. Rather it looks like an issue with the graphics module or something. Maybe there are some boot options to play with.. but now it is just guesswork. I have no idea what can have happen.
