Comments/Problems:
I had been trying to install debian wheezy quite a few times today and
yesterday. I had wheezy on there from before but wanted to install the
32bit and also change my partition layout a bit. My main problem most
of the times was that after rebootig I only got a black screen after a
little wait after grub. On my home computer I had used SSH and
installed kde. Ater rebooting things then worked fine. What I did to
get things to work on this system I used nomodeset kernel command line
parameter, installed firmware-linux-nonefree, rebooted and everything
worked as expected after that.
I also had a problem installing grub. It kept giving a error during
install. I then resorted to try lilo where i noticed that my hard
drive id was /dev/sdd. I then told grub to install to /dev/sdd instead
of the master boot record. It then worked as expected after that.
Yesterday after not being able to isntall with the alfa installer i
resorted to try installing with the daily netinstall. Using the daily
it always froze trying to detect the network card. It normally at that
point would have asked me to insert a usb with the realtek drivers on
it.
