I have an EeePC 4G (the 701) and I'm trying to put Debian Squeeze on to it. I've RTFM and read the wiki, and got to the stage of having a USB stick that boots the netinst version. The EeePC is connected to the Internet by a proven cable (not wireless). The USB stick boots to the install screen (looks good) and I can use the touch pad to navigate around that. But, when I choose anything from that menu, the system hangs. CTL-ALT-DEL reboots, and it seems to be the only way to get out of it, short of removing the battery. The power button does nothing.
If I look at the USB stick on my Debian system, this is what I see: rob@debianrob:/media> cd Debian\ 6.0.1a\ i386\ 1/ rob@debianrob:/media/Debian 6.0.1a i386 1> ll total 721 -r--r--r-- 1 rob root 27 2011-03-21 02:03 autorun.inf dr-xr-xr-x 1 rob root 2048 2011-03-21 02:03 css lr-xr-xr-x 1 rob root 1 2011-03-21 02:03 debian -> . dr-xr-xr-x 1 rob root 2048 2011-03-21 02:03 dists dr-xr-xr-x 1 rob root 2048 2011-03-21 02:03 doc dr-xr-xr-x 1 rob root 2048 2011-03-21 02:03 firmware -r--r--r-- 1 rob root 110070 2011-03-15 13:51 g2ldr -r--r--r-- 1 rob root 8192 2011-03-15 13:51 g2ldr.mbr dr-xr-xr-x 1 rob root 2048 2011-03-21 02:03 install dr-xr-xr-x 1 rob root 2048 2011-03-21 02:03 install.386 dr-xr-xr-x 1 rob root 4096 2011-03-21 02:03 isolinux -r--r--r-- 1 rob root 40572 2011-03-21 02:04 md5sum.txt dr-xr-xr-x 1 rob root 2048 2011-03-21 02:03 pics dr-xr-xr-x 1 rob root 2048 2011-03-21 02:03 pool -r--r--r-- 1 rob root 8761 2011-03-21 02:04 README.html -r--r--r-- 1 rob root 142516 2011-03-20 06:54 README.mirrors.html -r--r--r-- 1 rob root 76776 2011-03-20 06:54 README.mirrors.txt -r--r--r-- 1 rob root 398 2011-03-21 02:03 README.source -r--r--r-- 1 rob root 5373 2011-03-21 02:04 README.txt -r--r--r-- 1 rob root 319525 2011-03-15 13:51 setup.exe dr-xr-xr-x 1 rob root 2048 2011-03-21 02:03 tools -r--r--r-- 1 rob root 237 2011-03-21 02:03 win32-loader.ini There seems to be a lot windows stuff here, but there is a "vmlinuz" file in the install.386 directory. Do I need to boot into the old EeePC linux system and then run this? What am I missing? (Yes, I did read the READMEs).
