I seem to remember someone else writing about EFI not working poorly with alpha5... Could you please try alpha6? The T100TA wiki states either i386 or amd64+i386 grub-efi need to be used. Here are links to the netinst isos for your convenience. http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/stretch_di_alpha6/i386/iso-cd/debian-stretch-DI-alpha6-i386-netinst.iso http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/stretch_di_alpha6/multi-arch/iso-cd/debian-stretch-DI-alpha6-amd64-i386-netinst.iso Alternatively, could someone please comment on how the following is different from the multiarch iso? Or does the multiarch iso install a preconfigured amd64+i386 sources.list and packages out of the box, while using a 64bit grub-efi? The reason I mention this mac iso is because I seem to remember that macs are infamous for using mixed-mode EFI. http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/stretch_di_alpha6/amd64/iso-cd/debian-mac-stretch-DI-alpha6-amd64-netinst.iso Cheers, Nicholas
