Hi. I tried to use reportbug to um, report a bug, but I don't know what package is at fault.Briefly, I installed Debian 12 using debian-12.0.0-amd64-netinst.iso on a Hewlett-Packard T620 thin client. The installation went all right and the system booted into Bookworm. After doing some setup, I shut down (correctly). Next time I started the machine, it indicated a hardware failure. Machine would not respond to keys to invoke system info, BIOS setup, or self-tests. Tried again with a second instance of the T620. Same result, except this time after the apparent hardware failure, I was able to reach the BIOS setup and on the advice from an expert on Debian User Forums ("lewulff"), installed Debian 11, D-11 is working great. lewulff said that he has noticed a difference in how Debian 12 vs. 11 works with UEFI. I believe that the developers will want to fix this - maybe they're already aware of the issue, but I don't know how to tell. Best regards, Will Stites
If you power cycle for a minute, does it work again? Or it is permanently broken? If you remove storage media (HDD or SSD or whatever you have there), does anything change? This could be a BIOS bug in older hardware, PC is hanging if put in "incorrect" state, and it remains in it until power cycled. Old PCs often have trouble recognizing UEFI installs and other more modern things, I've seen weird PCs hanging completely on BIOS screen when USB stick with UEFI liveCD distro is inserted. -- With kindest regards, Piotr. ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Debian - The universal operating system ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ https://www.debian.org/ ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀
