Thanks for following up. I tried the bookworm netinstall and the PXE boot, but the install failed in the same way:
https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/bookworm/main/installer-amd64/current/images/SHA256SUMS I used the netbot.tar.gz as well as the USB b41d766e5389b4e35bac3a664da84822e0990439c9c4df933ddbaff6847a0009 ./netboot/netboot.tar.gz I managed to get the PXE netboot to work using DHCPD and AFTPD. I modified the splash.png to be a black 640x480 PNG file and also updated grub.cfg to replace --- quiet with --debug. I was able to boot into grub and then I issued the commands based on the "Expert install" menu entry: linux /debian-installer/amd64/linux --- debug initrd /debian-installer/amd64/initrd.gz boot After issuing boot, the installer hanged indefinitely with no output. Here's a 1m video of this after pressing Enter on boot: https://downloads.erjoalgo.com/WhatsApp%20Video%202023-06-14%20at%208.42.41%20PM.mp4 Is there a way to get more verbose output to figure out what is hanging boot? I also want to add that I tried an Ubuntu image and this booted properly: https://pasteboard.co/9Awz7Io3kEVG.jpg Thanks again, Ernesto On Sat, May 13, 2023 at 6:58 PM Cyril Brulebois <k...@debian.org> wrote: > Hi Ernesto, > > Ernesto Alfonso <erjoa...@gmail.com> (2023-05-13): > > I'm attempting to setup Debian on a Dell Inspiron All-in-One system, > > either as dual boot or replacing the existing windows 10 OS. > > > > The installer hangs after entering either the "graphical install", > > "install" or "live" options from the initial menu.
