Re: Install Debian netinstall to HP Elitebook 840 G8 problem

Show all headers | View raw

Ok I am kind of getting what goes wrong. First configure boot options to usb in bios setting as usual. 

Then do rebooting. After the screen displays HP logo, pressing esc button, which will again enter the bios seting or that kind of screen but it will ask (the screen will display) with several options, such as

continuous boot
...
boot options
bios setup
...

Then this time, pressing continuous boot or something similar (sorry can't remember the name, but it's at the first option). Now it enters to normal boot process where lovely debian installer asks me to install or use gui blah blah

It also possible my iso did not burn correctly. I did rebrun iso to usb using etcher, which seemingly do validation step. 

Anyway, hopes  this trivial info may be of help to someone who also runs into some annoying issues (not debian side) similar like mine. 

Thanks

I've repeated installing from netinstall iso many times, but I had never run into such situation. So actually I am stocked. I don't know that's because of UEFI or because the iso burn to usb stick problem (but I check the usb I can see setup.exe, and those bootable files as usual w/t a problem).
