DebianOn is an effort to document how to install, configure and use Debian on some specific hardware. Therefore potential buyers would know if that hardware is supported and owners would know how get the best out of that hardware.

The purpose is not to duplicate the Debian Official Documentation, but to document how to install Debian on some specific hardware.

If you need help to get Debian running on your hardware, please have a look at our user support channels where you may find specific channels (mailing list, IRC channel) dedicated to certain types of hardware.

{i} = Configuration Required; X-( = Only works with a non-free driver and or firmware

Important Note

{X} The Squeeze kernel doesn't support the ethernet and Wifi Sandybridge chips. So you've to copy and install a kernel from backports.debian.org by hand.

{X} Reboot doesn't work by default.

Configuration

Display

Build-in is a Sandybridge Intel HD chip. It's supported in general but Xv doesn't work / crashes thes X server. OpenGL/GLX fails with an unrecognized deviceID 126.

Reboot issue

To solve the reboot issue you've to pass the kernel reboot=pci. You can achieve this by adding reboot=pci to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" in /etc/default/grub.

WiFi

Beside a recent kernel from backports.debian.org it's required to install the non-free firmware-iwlwifi package.
