Hi Patrick, Which install method did you chose (cd, usb/live, net, etc.); and with which verbosity level (if you don't know let's assume default)?
I am just trying to get a bit more information so that others here, or myself can help you out a bit more. It looks like the install is not so "faultless" and the partitioning and/or root file system is all messed up. If I understand you correctly, too, you are using the original Mac. bootloaders and doing dual boot into separate disk/partitions--Many a man (woman) would explain many advantages of scrapping that setup and going 100% debian :-D Regards,jb On Sunday 03 November 2013 21:07:41 Patrick Raddatz wrote: > Sorry, that was too quick. > > Dear list-subscribers, > this is my first attempt at Linux, so pls bear with me. > > After doing a faultless fresh install on the second internal HD, all > attempts at booting debian failed at the same stage.
