That hardware is getting old -- ca. 2011:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_Accelerated_Processing_Unit


I am finding that Debian and/or Linux have issues on my older hardware.


If you have a machine with a working installation of:

     debian-bullseye-DI-alpha2-amd64-netinst.iso


Boot it and see what message follows the message:

     IPV6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): enp2so: link becomes ready


My guess is that whatever follows is the problem on the Lenovo S205. 
Perhaps you can boot the installer into a rescue shell, mount the root 
partition read-write, and fix or work-around the problem.


What happens if you install current Debian Stable?


What if you install older versions of Debian?
