Subject	Install on hp-pavilion-g6-2100 stops at 98%
Message-ID	<uljt0-5dm-1@gated-at.bofh.it>

Hello

I will try to explain the problem I have but I maybe forgot something
because I'm trying to install since yesterday without luck

I want to install Debian 9 on this laptop (hp-pavilion-g6-2100).
What I did…
    • Downloaded the amd64 and put it on my USB
    • I started the laptop from the USB and chose graphical install
      but the process never ends and or becomes unresponsive
Now I try the expert install but
    • I can't chose the language (defaults to en)
    • I can change to azerty (it's a french laptop)
    • Then it ask to chose some options (chose UTF-8)
    • It asks to install a loader and I chose GRUB

Now I have a blue screen and I'm here waiting since 1 hour (+ or -)

What should/could I do now?

Thanks in advance

Luis

Please tell us how you put the amd64 on the USB.

Thanks for answering, Brian

The laptop had Window$ 10 installed. I did some Google search and I 
finally install a software (I can't remember now, sorry) to put the ISO 
on the USB.

But now the thing has changed and it seems that the install advances: 
it's installing GRUB now, after ask if I wanted to install an EFI 
fall-back which I accepted. So now I have

Installing GRUB boot loader

66%
Running "update grub"…

I'm going to wait a little and see if it ends the install

It would be helpful if you could remember. However, it seems you have
not followed the advice in section 4.3.1. at

 https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/ch04s03.html.en

Use 'cp debian.iso /dev/sdX' if you have another Linux computer to
hand.

You shouldn't have to wait so long. My installs take about 10 minutes.

I'm on Mac OS. After some ggogling, I did install the ISO on a new USB 
key like this

unmountDisk /dev/disk1
sudo dd if=./debian-9.1.0-amd64-netinst.iso of=/dev/disk1 bs=1m

Then I did the install, but now I have this at startup

error: file `/boot/grub/x86_g4-efi/normal.mod`not found
Entering rescue mode...
grub rescue>

Did more googling an I saw that some people did an ls command here, 
which I did

grub rescue>
(hd0) (hd0.gpt6) (hd0) (hd0.gpt5) (hd0) (hd0.gpt4) (hd0) (hd0.gpt3) 
(hd0) (hd0.gpt2) (hd0) (hd0.gpt1) (hd0) (hd1) (cd0)

That I think means the disks I have (I did chose a LVM with a home, tmp, 
etc)

Any ideas?



> You shouldn't have to wait so long. My installs take about 10 minutes.

Well, now it goes faster, I must admit, but still no real luck ;)

Thanks again

Mac OS is a mystery to me, but I believe it is UNIX based. dd looks like
a decent command to use.

> Then I did the install, but now I have this at startup

And it installed. So that part is ok. Progress.

Pass on why you should get this. efi is something else I know nothing
about.

One of those partitions should have the files vmlinuz and initrd.img
on it. Look at the contents of each partition with 'ls (hd0.gpt1)/',
'ls (hd0.gpt2)/' etc to find them. Then at the prompt (if the partition
is (hd0.gpt1):

set root=(hd0.gpt1)
linux vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1
initrd initrd.img
boot

/dev/sda1 becomes /dev/sda2 if the partition is (hd0.gpt2).

If that works it should be easy for us to go from there.

Found the 2 files in (hd0.gpt2) (and others post named as old)
Then I did

	set root=(hd0.gpt2)

And it says nothing, but it complains when I do
linux vmlinuz root=/dev/sda2

Unknown command `linux`

What am I missing (or doing wrong) here?

Thanks again !!!!!

Luis

Apologies. Typos.

linux vmlinuz root=/dev/sda2 ---> linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda2
initrd initrd                ---> initrd /initrd.img

(Check that (hd0,gpt2) has initrd.img).

You can try with the corrected lines but I do not think the missing
"/" is the problem.

See where this gets you:

Boot the installer from the USB stick. Choose "Advanced options" and
"Rescue mode". Eventually you will be asked for the device to use as
the root file system. On the next page you can choose to reinstall
GRUB.

The top left of the screen has "Rescue mode". Activate "Choose language"
and go through the screens as though you are installing.

I just read the following; looks pertinent (but if not, sorry):

 If you're in the GRUB rescue shell the commands are different, and you
 have to load the normal.mod and linux.mod modules:

 grub rescue> set prefix=(hd0,1)/boot/grub
 grub rescue> set root=(hd0,1)
 grub rescue> insmod normal
 grub rescue> normal
 grub rescue> insmod linux
 grub rescue> linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-29-generic root=/dev/sda1
 grub rescue> initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-29-generic
 grub rescue> boot

Shouldn't that be:
sudo dd if=./debian-9.1.0-amd64-netinst.iso of=/dev/disk bs=1m

Assuming disk naming is the same on Mac compared to Debian, you've written the 
iso image in the first partition (/dev/disk1) instead of writing it to the 
device (/dev/disk).

I don't know if both name the volumes the same way. Looking at this with 
a command that lists the volumes, I have this


➜  ~ diskutil list
/dev/disk0 (internal, physical):
    #:                       TYPE NAME               SIZE       IDENTIFIER
    0:      GUID_partition_scheme                    *1.0 TB     disk0
    1:                        EFI EFI                209.7 MB   disk0s1
    2:                  Apple_HFS 999                999.3 GB   disk0s2
    3:                 Apple_Boot Recovery HD        650.0 MB   disk0s3

/dev/disk1 (external, physical):
    #:                       TYPE NAME               SIZE       IDENTIFIER
    0:     Apple_partition_scheme                    *16.0 GB    disk1
    1:        Apple_partition_map                    4.1 KB     disk1s1
    2:                  Apple_HFS                    426.0 KB   disk1s2



First impression I have is that /dev/disk (as you propose) does not 
exists. Am I right?


Thanks for your answer.

That is interesting. macOS is derived from BSD via NeXT and here I 
suspect shows a BSD-like naming convention. The "s" stands for slice.

The "1" in "disk1" seems to be the equivalent to our "a" in "sda":
  http://osxdaily.com/2016/08/09/find-disk-id-device-node-identifier-mac/
  http://cdn.osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/diskutil-list-find-disk-id-identifier-mac.jpg

In general i doubt that the way of copying to USB stick is to blame,
because Luis came to GRUB installing, which happens from the running
GNU/Linux, afaik.
More technical, the Debian amd64 ISOs have their MBR from ISOLINUX file
"isohdpfx.bin" without "partok" feature (= MBR file "isohdppx.bin").
I.e. it would not boot ISOLINUX and then a Linux kernel if it sat in
a partition with nonzero offset from the device start.
  http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Isohybrid#MBR_selection

If the machine boots via EFI, then it would not have found the partition
table of the ISO which marks the EFI system partition.

Regrettably i cannot say anything that would help Luis, but that the problem
must be somewhere else. The message (is it literally that text ?) indicates
that it could be related to program grub-update in the booted GNU/Linux.

Have a nice day :)

Thomas

Seems to be that now I'm dealing with grub, who has a problem. More on 
that: an ls command (at boot grub rescue>) over (hd0,gpt3) shows
lib
cache
backups
local
(others folders and…)
www

I presume that it's usr (or equivalent, knowing that I chose separated 
partitions with LVM (which I believe it's a software that helps to do or 
adapt partitions on the fly)

over (hd0,gpt2) shows
boot
home
tmp
var
etc
(others folders and…)
vmlinuz.old
initrd.old
vmlinuz
initrd

I presume that it's the system

And last but not least over (hd0,gpt1) shows
(hd0) (hd0.gpt6) (hd0) (hd0.gpt5) (hd0) (hd0.gpt4) (hd0) (hd0.gpt3) (hd0)
(hd0.gpt2) (hd0) (hd0.gpt1) (hd0) (hd1) (cd0)


Consider that what I wrote here it's a transcription and maybe there's 
some bad typing

So far, my objective now is this grub guy (I'm still being polite with 
him ;), and the LAST issue is that I can't figure where the linux.mod 
file is

set root=(hd0,gpt2)
insmod /boot/grub/linux.mod (I believe, after Googling it, that here is 
my drama)
linux vmlinuz root=/dev/sda2
initrd initrd.img
boot
