I have having trouble getting thru the first screen "UEFI Installer". on 
this first menu i have full keyboard control.

Once i choose one of the Sections IE: Graphical Install, Install, 
Advanced Options

once the screen switches i loose all keyboard and mouse control, then i 
must reboot to get back to the UEFI screen.


please advise.

Are there other OSes installed?  Are they UEFI or MBR types? Does
your system support UEFI? You can't mix UEFI and MBR.  It's either one
or the other.

I doubt it that has anything to do with it. More than likely its not 
loaded enough stuff to service his usb keyboard or mouse. Might have to 
plug in a real ps2 keyboard to drive it at that point.

Switches to what ? Kernel boot ?

>>  Does your system support UEFI?

Of course it does. Otherwise the Debian installer would not boot in EFI 
mode.

>> You can't mix UEFI and MBR.  It's either one or the other.

Actually you can. The Debian installer can boot either in legacy BIOS or 
native EFI mode. So does a Debian system when installed properly.

External PS/2 devices are becoming rare these days.
I have seen this kind of behaviour on a laptop which with integrated 
PS/2 keyboard and touchpad. The PS/2 controller required an additional 
kernel parameter in order to operate properly. Sorry, I can't remember 
exactly which one, just it was i8042.something.

Good to know there's been progress.  Last time I researched this
option when installing Wheezy (5 years ago) on a multi-boot set up that
was all MBR, it was not recommended to mix-n-match. I had Windows XP as
one of the OSes, too.

That system is still alive and well though the hardware has been
upgraded numerous times, and only holds two OSes now -- Wheezy and
Stretch, it's still MBR  It was juat easier to install Stretch that
way even though I chainload it off Wheezy's grub. (I prefer to keep OS
grubs separate.) Plus, I had no real need of the features that UEFI
offers. KISS -- Keep It Simple, Stupid.

FWIW: I run old XP in a VM now.  Actually, it performs better than
running it natively.

You too?  I also run XP in a VM, and file I/O is wonderfully fast.  Even 
though XP thinks it's working with NTFS, on the metal it's actually a 
Linux file system (in my case ext4), and that gives it a performance edge.

Plus now XP runs better, snappier in the VM in Stretch than it did in
Wheezy. Same box. Not a lot, but enough to notice. Was somewhat
surprised with that. Wasn't a reinstall either. Just followed
VirtualBox's instructions to transfer virtual drive, etc. from Wheezy to
Stretch. No troubleshooting or tweaking needed.
