After the install, the computer booted to windows. Using the bios bootmenu (F9) the default option is "OS Boot Manager" that boots windows. But "debian" is present in the menu at the last position and selecting it successfully boot debian. In the bios setup (F10), in the boot option menu, I can change the order of the boot options but there is no "debian" present in the list : only "OS Boot Manager", a lot of hardware boot option like "USD Hard Drive" or "SD Card", the last option is "Customized Boot". So I just moved "Customized Boot" to the first place and give it the value recommended by https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/HP/EliteBook%20840%20G1 > Also: you've tried my unofficial Jessie development image - is > that because the standard images didn't work, or is this just the > first image you tried? I tried first a daily USB image from http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/amd64/daily/ But: * I had to use "UEFI Hybrid (With CSM)" (instead of "UEFI Boot only (Without CSM)") so that the bios can see the USB key * The install was successful but it seems that the grub install silently failed since, after the reboot, there was no "debian" (or any new option) in the boot menu * I retried the USB key in rescue mode, so I can force-install grub manually but it failed (I do not remember the error message) and the grub-efi version did not work either because no EFI (no /sys/firmware/efi/ ). It is possible that the bios option "UEFI Hybrid (With CSM)" hides the EFI to the installer * Seeing that the installer did not like the EFI, I remembered http://blog.einval.com/2015/01/11#Jessie-EFI_5 and just tried the proposed image * I reseted the bios to "UEFI Boot only (Without CSM)" and the bios showed the new USB key, so could retry the install. -- Jean PRIVAT, professeur/professor Département d'informatique/Department of Computer Science U.Q.A.M.
