Some months ago I tried many times to install Debian on my Debian
Acer One ...
[*MASSIVE* SNIP]
Did you try all combinations of the following ?
- BIOS/legacy boot mode or EFI boot mode
- text-mode install or GUI install
- 32-bit install or 64-bit install
[large snip]
Then I try to reboot with power button but the machine remains
for many hours in that state... Then after many hours it turns off...
I am NOT familiar with any Acer product. However, there is a useful
feature in my assortment of Lenovo laptops and one desktop. It might
be described as a "panic stop". It is triggered by pressing and
holding the power button. It is *BRUTE* force and regularly causes
Debian to run adisk diagnostic on the next boot.
You might check Acer documentation or user group for a similar
function.
I just browsed back thru the thread and saw no mention of using a Live
edition. These are available at:
<https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/>
and
<https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/i386/iso-hybrid/>
That will help distinguish between specifically "installation issues"
and "general suitability issues". What I'm thinking of is there some
non-free software requirement that is causing atypical installation
symptoms.
