Debian wheezy on efika ARMHF
Good day Debian users,
I have some problems installing Debian on my machine (an efika smartbook, ARM powered [1]).
What I have done until now:
1. I downloaded the netinst image for ARMHF arch
2. used Gparted to create a bootable SD and dd'd the image on the SD
3. plugged the SD in the smartbook/ rebooted
The machine seems to take longer time at startup (maybe it's recognizing something?), but apart from that, no luck: after a while, I get my usual login screen (the installer does not start).
After that failed attempt, I went to the relevant page on the debian wiki [2] (understood little, to be honest) and even opened a thread on the manufacturer's forum [3]. No luck.
So I am asking you: did I do something wrong? Is debian installable on such machines via the installer? Does someone with an efika smartbook succesfully install it?
I wonder if I should post this in the devel arm-port mailing list.
Thanks in advance for your replies
Armand
