debian-installer - HP ProBook 6560b
hello,
i just tried to install debian on a HP ProBook 6560b with preinstalled
windows7.
these attempt were kind of frustrating and not successfull.
1. shinked the windows partition to get space for linux.
2. tried to install squeeze - no network device was found
2. tried to install testing, networkdevice was found but the installer
was unable to intall grub or lilo
3. deleted windows and reinstalled
4. installed testing on /dev/sda5 - no complains about networkinterface
or installing grub, but when i tried to reboot, no os was found
5. started in debian rescuemode and unset the boot-flag from /dev/sda5
and set the boot-flag on /dev/sda2 (the windows partition)
6. rebooted an was presented the grub prompt, selected debian. the
system started to boot, but atfter displaying some line the display
started flickering and nothing debian did not startup.
7. rebooted and selected windows at the grub prompt. windows started up
without any complains
what can i do to install debian on this laptop?
