Hello,
I am new to GNU/Linux and just installed Debian on a laptop.(Debian 10.2 AMD64 nonfree version, DVD iso file written on USB pendrive using rufus)
The laptop(HP PROBOOK 445R G6) has a Realtek RTL8822BE WiFi/BT card.
During installation, it failed to configure network. I went on with wired LAN anyway and completed installation. But after I removed the pendrive and rebooted the system, the Booting process halted with error messages saying
"r8822be : halmac_init_hal failed"
I searched the internet and found that this WiFi card has many problems on linux systems with the same error messages, but in my case, the system won't boot and I am unable to log on to the system. I tried again with the card removed (by setting the card to disabled state in BIOS) but the system still stops during boot (in this case, no error message and only a blank black screen with cursor blinking).
Is there a solution for this problem?
Can I re-install Debian with wifi card removed first and install wifi driver afterwards?
