you're right here, it's modules problem, they are not being present in initramfs, so to fix it, boot from cdrom again into rescue mode and add this 2 modules to: root@deb4g:/tmp# grep -v ^# /etc/initramfs-tools/modules sunvdc sunvnet and update kernel initrd from rescue shell with # update-initramfs -u exit rescue shell and reboot, it should boot ok now... (but there would be no telnet console present on boot, since it needs to be enabled, before reboot from rescue shell with : root@debian:/# cd /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants# root@debian:/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants# ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/console-getty.service console-getty.service or if you know IP address of installed debian, login via ssh and enable with systemctl : # systemctl enable console-getty
