Installation failed [SOLVED]

Debian installation error red screen

I checked hash of the downloaded iso before dd to USB. X86 image. I tried to save logs to the web or local from the upper menu but process of saving freezing on zero.

Try dd-ing again. Brew a pot of coffee while waiting; sometimes the cache is still writing to the drive even after the activity light goes out. Depending on your USB drive, it could take over 5 minutes to write the image.

Even when screen is red - installation can processed?

No.

Try transferring the image to the USB stick again and make sure you use:

conv=sync

as one of the options (or add ;sync at the end of the command) and wait for the prompt to return before removing the stick.

Is the USB stick old?

vitaly-zdanevich · 2015-10-21 08:27:18

I used this command:

dd if=<file> of=<device> bs=4M; sync

USB is pretty old, but I have no problems with it... Maybe I can somehow to check the files on usb after dd?

When you get the error screen, switch to virtual console 3 (or 4? I don't remember which one exactly). Should give you more info on what is going wrong.

vitaly-zdanevich · 2015-10-21 08:52:56

How can I switch to virtual console? You mean Ctrl + Alt + 3?

xaos52 · 2015-10-21 08:55:01

Ctrl + Alt + F3

Priviet Vitaly,
Click continue and it'd take you back to a list of installation actions. You have to remember the action you've done just before. Click on it again and check whether that action would start. If not, it is a problem with the iso in your usb stick. Check the downloaded iso and dd it back to the usb stick. (if you have another one, try the new usb stick.) Let me know what happens.

Problem somewhere with my hardware - or with drivers of Debian - because at my old PC I can't install any *buntu or Debian-based systems - Xubuntu Live for example in live mode from different USBs can work only one minute and after that looks like USB was rejected. Bunse work correct in Live Mode. Fedora (with spins) can correctly install and work - I tested this few times. Thank you everyone for help, Bunse is the perfect distro, but

What kind of PC are you trying to install to? How old is it?

vitaly-zdanevich · 2015-10-22 10:09:33

PC from year 2007: motherboard: M2N-SLI DELUXE, Athlon 64 X2 5000+, 3gb RAM, GeForce 6600 GT

Fedora Mate x64 working fast.

meaning the usb is not rejected in live mode. How long can you use live mode, without the usb getting rejected? Or, it never gets rejected in live mode?

vitaly-zdanevich · 2015-10-22 14:07:56

Bunse Live Mode worked correctly for me maybe half of the hour without problems (USB never "rejected"), but *buntu not.

you mentioned that several times now.
so what exactly happens after that half hour?

You mean, the PC gets rebooted or you do it manually?

vitaly-zdanevich · 2015-10-23 07:03:19

Manually - Live Mode have no problems for me, I just can't install.

pvsage · 2015-10-23 07:14:50

...so did you or did you not try re-dd'ing the ISO to the USB drive? I ask because the error you're getting is typical of an incomplete write to the drive. The installation files are towards the end of the image, and because of the nature of images dd'd directly to /dev/sdX, it isn't uncommon for the live session to work properly with an incomplete write.

vitaly-zdanevich · 2015-10-23 07:20:44

I tried dd to the new usb - all the same: at ~13% I get red screen and massages from logs that my filesystem (that was formatted minute ago by the installer) is read-only.
