Perhaps I missed something.
The label on the bottom of the machine reads:
Lenovo IdeaPad S205
Model Name: 1038
Mfg Date: 11/06/03
The netinstall image I used was:
debian-bullseye-DI-alpha2-amd64-netinst.iso; that installation brings
up the grub> prompt, and allows me to boot by typing in the commands:
grub> root=(hd0,gpt2)
grub> linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda2
grub> initrd /initrd.img
grub> boot
But X does not start. However, when press alt-F3 and open a terminal
window, I can log in as a normal user and then I can become a
superuser.
The command:
# dmesg |grep amd
produces the output:
amd_nb: x86/cpu/AMD: CPU erratum 688 worked around
So is my processor AMD or Atom? Should I install with another
netinstall image? if so, from where may I download it?
