Debian 8.5 x64 freezes

[barisgulten]

Hi guys,
I tried to install my desktop pc 64 bit debian 8.5 but it freezes at the very beginning. -Language Selection phase-.
32 bit installation worked without any hassle.
Also I faced same situation with latest OpenSuse.
Do you have any idea ?

AMD FX 8350, 4.0 GHZ, 16MB CACHE, 32 NM, AM3+
GIGABYTE 990FXA-UD5 DDR3 1866MHZ S+GL+16X AM3 +
KINGSTON HYPERX GENESIS 32 GB RAM.(4X8 GB) 1600 MHZ DDR3
KINGSTON HYPERX 3K 120 GB SSD DISK SATA 3
SAPPHIRE HD 7850 OC 2GB 256 BIT GDDR5 16X

Cheers,
Baris.

have you tested with amd64 live installation?

Hi,
I tried that live image "debian-live-8.5.0-amd64-cinnamon-desktop.iso"
and debian-8.5.0-amd64-kde-CD-1.iso.
Both of them freeze almost same point.
But on the live image also I got that error.

squashhfs error : Unable to read data cache entry [1855c49f]
squashhfs error : Unable to read page, block 1855c49f, size 8f08
squashhfs error : Unable to read fragment cache entry [3b4e40c2]
"
like that.
Also I got missing radeon driver firmware warning but I couldn't captured it.

My ethernet realtek 8168e. I added firmware deb file (firmware-realtek_0.43_all.deb) to the usb firmware folder but it didn't help.

I tried many usb stick result is same. It freezing at that point : https://postimg.org/image/6y1117w0j/

Try limiting the amount of ram to the kernel? I forget the syntax, so look it up, and not sure it still works, but try

mem=16G

on the boot line of the LIVE installation. I think you hit tab, add a space, then type your parametrs. Do a quick web search for 'kernel parameters' and you'll probably get lot of hits.

Did the i386 installations recognize all 32G?

could the .iso be corrupt?
did you check checksums before & after creating the medium?

ot: wow, this must be the best quality photgraphed screenshot i've ever seen. you may not be so good with linux, but you certainly are a photgrapher!

There could be a number of reasons. A few tips are listed here:

Hi,
I tried mem=16G option and couple of option but it didn't work.
Image or usb is not corrupted. I also tried on couple of usb stick.

I gave a shot to fedora workstation edition and it worked.
Now, I am using fedora on my desktop.

Baris.
