[Solved] Debian 11 amd64 netinst won't boot

#1 Post by PsychoHermit »

Greetings folks,

I just installed debian-11.7.0-amd64-netinst.iso to a 32gig USB stick and it won't boot. The last thing in the boot.log is the call to Gnome Display Manager, so I'm assuming that is what's locking up. Can I use X Display manager as an alternative? How to go about that?

[edit]
Pressing e while on the grub entry and replacing splash with 3 for run level 3 boots to text mode but after I enter my login name I never get a password prompt so it's not GDM3. No idea what it is.
[/edit]

Thanks,

Need a lot more details. What did you choose to install during the install process? Presumably you were connected to the internet and installed Gnome. What do you see on the screen when it "locks up"?
Maybe you need graphics driver and/or firmware. You need to boot to a console login and install the relevant packages of which we can't advise because you have not given details of your hardware.

All I installed was the net install iso. The net install does not give the opportunity to select anything extra to install, just bare bones.
I never got it to run so I couldn't install anything else.

It probably needs firmware so the net install iso won't work for me as it does not include non free firmware.

Your first line says you installed Debian 11.7, yet your inxi output shows

Code: Select all

 v: 43.0 Distro: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)

That's my Debian bookworm install. I was just messing around installing the net iso to a usb stick. I'm going to mark it as solved so no one waste their time on it.
