    "at start after installation"

    Please elaborate, make the statement more explicite. Like:

    Installation went fine. The first start after install failed.
    All later starts also.


    I am going to test Ubuntu that some people say works.

    Just do that test and please report back.


    It is strange that Debian can not.

    It is less strange to those who understand that computers
    are far far more complexer as hammers.


    Do you know a way to run Debian on that laptop?

    What I would do:
    - Do another installation attempt
    - While installer runs, in a shell `uname -a`, to see which kernel
    version is running
    - Continue install
    - Pay extra atttention when installer selects a kernel, play with that
    selection
    - Finish install
    - Restart
    - Find out which kernel version is running
    - See how well it does
    - Repeat the above steps


    The reason for the retries to get to another kernel
    is the knowledge that the installer itself uses a generic kernel
    and installs and a more optimized kernel. (Too optimized also
    happens :-)
