Trouble Installing Debian 10.8.0 (Gnome)
I've hit a wall installing Debian 10.8.0 (Gnome) from a bootable USB and need help. The installer loads and begins the installation, and seems to complete the process, but after rebooting all that will boot up is a black screen with a blinking cursor at the top left corner that does not respond to any of my keyboard commands. The only issue I have during installation is that I cannot get the network to configure automatically (I have tried several times with no luck). I've even tried to use an ethernet connection but when that's used the installer will stop and say I need to "Configure the network"; it freezes at this point (even if left for an hour to sort itself out), is unresponsive to any keyboard commands, and does not respond to the ethernet cable being disconnected. So, I have not been able to install & reboot with a network connection. I am open to any & all suggestions as I really want to use Debian.
I was told this may help, my system specs:
Processor: AMD Ryzen 3250U Picasso (2.6 GHz, 2 cores, TDP 15W)
RAM: 8 GB DDR4 2400 MHz (32 GB), 2 slots
Graphics card: AMD Radeon RX Vega 3 integrated into the processor
Storage: 1 TB at 5400 rpm 1 free M.2 SSD slot
Connectivity: 2 USB 3.0 1 USB 2.0, HDMI 1.4b, SD / SDHC / SDXC
Network: Wi-Fi ac, Bluetooth 4.1, Gigabit Ethernet
I have also tried the ISO with the non-free firmware. While I was able to detect a network wirelessly (and even put in a password) I was still left on a 'Configure the network' screen.
