Bug#703470: UEFI USB stick installation fails on HP EliteBook 8570p
Control: retitle -1 UEFI USB stick installation fails to detect its media on a USB 3.0 port
As mentioned in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=703469 ,
I was able to install by booting without EFI. While having problems
getting that system to recognize a USB stick that I plugged in, it
occurred to me that I was using one of the USB 3.0 ports. A USB 2.0
port recognizes the device.
Applying the same idea to this bug, I got the d-i to work just as well
in EFI mode on a USB 2.0 port. I booted the existing system by choosing
"F9 Boot Device Options" from the "Startup Menu", then "External USB
Hard Drive" (as opposed to "USB Hard Drive 1 - ..."). I stopped after
configuring the network, since I don't want to destroy the system I've
already installed.
So the remaining issue is that the d-i doesn't find the installation
media in a USB 3.0 port.
