Re: Installation issues of Debian 5.0.6 "Lenny"

However, I could not install Debian into my Hewlett Packard dv6-3030tx
notebook with a Intel i5-540M processor (dual core). I have been
able to
install Ubuntu 10.04.1 "Lucid Lynx" albeit without the software
driver for
the ATI graphics card which causes the operating system to crash.
Debian stable (currently this is Lenny, but will soon be superseded by
Squeeze) doesn't come with the most recent kernels, and consequently
can be problematic to install on newest hardware (such as, I assume,
your laptop is). There are various workarounds you might try to make
Debian work on recent hardware though; such as hopping over to debian
backports and installing one of their newer kernels; or dropping Lenny
and installing Squeeze instead which comes with newer kernels.
I also was able install Debian into this machine I am typing my email
on
now, which is an ASRock desktop board based on AMD 880G chipset and
AMD
Athlon II X4 640 processor (quad core), but when I loaded the
operating
system, the monitor went into screen-saver and froze.
Sounds like a problem with your graphics driver. Single-user (no
deskktop) mode probably works; you should try that, and if the machine
boots fine into single-user mode, try running the commands lspci and
lsusb; if you post the output of these two commands here, somebody
might be able to give you further advice.
