This is an old post, I plan on making a new one with updated details.
I was installing Debian on my Getac F100-G2, and I booted to the live usb perfectly fine. I tested everything and it seemed to work great, except for one time I got logged out randomly. I installed it(overwriting windows) and it completed with no error. When I rebooted, it booted to a black screen and did not provide any error message. I’ve tried booting to the same installation media as well, and it does the exact same. I’ve switched between legacy boot and uefi, which has been an issue in the past with debian. I have also tried booting from a pureos live usb and that hasn’t worked either. Getac devices are for enterprise use more than person, and rather poorly documented, so any help is appreciated!********___
Does it give you anything? Can you select safe mode or nomodeset from the grub menu, or do you get no grub menu at all? I almost pulled the trigger on a used getac system a while back, but couldn’t justify the cost. If you get it working, please tell me how it goes under Linux!
absolutely no grub or anything. this is probably my fault somehow though because ive heard of other people using it fine, and the overall compatibility was decent when it booted.
Okay, did you change anything, perhaps BIOS settings? You did mention it booted just fine the first time with liveUSB.
