  • Debian 9.7 installation

    From [email protected]@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jan 29 07:04:41 2019
    Hello everyone,

    I'm trying to install debian using the debian 9.7 64 bits non-free firmware iso in a HP 240G laptop, with 120Gb SSD and 4Gb of RAM. The non-free firmware is needed by the Realtek network adapters

    I'm using a 8Gb pendrive for usb booting and have already tried with a 16Gb pendrive

    The instalation fails in the end, when triyng to configure package manager, using the cli installer, the error messages are:


    fclose: No space left in the disk
    libkmod: kmod_load_new_from_loaded could not open /proc/modules: No such file or directory
    error: could not get a list of modules: No such file or directory
    grep: /proc/meminfo: no such file or directory
    Cannot determine system memory



    It says there is no space left in the disk, but there is nothing in the disk. I've selected automatic partiotining in a clean disk.

    Thank you in advance!

    You're sure you have Realtek? On both wired and wireless? The thing is,
    the non-free firmware images are unofficial and presumably less well
    tested. It's worth trying the normal netinst image.
