Please give some more details, specifically: 1. which iso (with sha256sum)? 2. was it a cleared disk, or existing paritions? 3. which installation mode (default or expert)? 4. which partitioning? 5. which network mirror (or none?)? 6. which software selection(s)? 7. which init system? 8. # md5sum $(find /boot/efi -type f) 9. please do 8 for the "working debian" as well
10. which EFI brand and version? regards, Ralph.
