Installing Debian Squeeze on Envy 15

Submitted by hikerockies on Thu, 07/08/2010 - 11:07

I installed Debian Squeeze on a USB 3.0 equipped Envy 15 laptop with Core i7 processor. This blog details my experience installing and running Debian Squeeze. Keep in mind Debian Squeeze is not released yet and is still changing at a good pace (I tried installing Debian Lenny just for the sake of it and graphic install fails to display anything on the screen. When I pressed ESC, it drops to text mode install but install kernel either panics or hangs. I did not spend much time on it). Hardware specs for the laptop are:

  • Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-720QM Quad Core processor (1.6GHz, 6MB L3 Cache) with Turbo Boost up to 2.8 GHz
  • 4 GB RAM
  • ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5830 Graphics
  • NEC uPD720200 USB 3.0 controller
  • BIOS ver: F.28
