Finding older ISOs
So I've had no luck trying to resolve my issues from this morning. A few test include staring the install for 9.3.0 64 bit (Loads fine) 8.10.0 32bit (Loads Fine).The AMD64 version of 8.10.0 still gives me issues. So I thought I would just grab an older version like 8.8.0 and just try and see what happens. After hours of searching for an 8.8.0 ISO or .jigdo I can't seem to find an actual download link. I've tried mirror after mirror after mirror and the files are not there. I tried using jigdo an no matter what I try I get an error saying the file is not found. Is it really this difficult for someone new to Debian (but not Linux) to find this stinking image? It just seems like this is way more difficult than it should be.
Re: Issues installing 8.10 on IBM x3550M4
I tried both the text (preferred method) and graphical and I get the same thing. I initially tried installing remotely using the IMM2 built in KVM. Thinking that was the issue I connected directly to the VGA and I get the same results. The servers previously had a 64bit version of Ubuntu on them. On Mon, Feb 12, 2018 at 9:16 AM, Roberto C.

Issues installing 8.10 on IBM x3550M4
Hello, I've been struggling with an issue trying to install 8.10 netinst (amd64) on an IBM x3550 M4. When I boot into the install image I get the splash screen and install menu. If I choose the install option the screen "flickers" like it's changing the screen resolution and then I just get a blank screen with nothing else.The only option is to power cycle the server and start over. I have four of these servers that I need to load this image on and all four servers exhibit the same behavior. I initially thought the issue was because I was trying to remotely install the image with the IMM2 but when I got to the office this morning and tried the install locally I get the same thing. I've googled quite a bit and found similar issues but these were after the install was complete and with people who were running a desktop on their servers.These servers will run with the CLI only, no desktop needed. Has anyone run into this issue before trying to install on an IBM server? -richey
