I installed it from the Calamaries Installer found in the LIVE USB ISO this time. And Instead of my primary hdd, I installed it on the other one. Works now, thanks for all of your support, dear nerds.
I dont know how you flashed the usb, but it seems like the installer is damaged. Try redownloading the iso, check the file hash, flash the usb drive with balena etcher and reinstall.
Did you change the partition layout in the installer?
Did you mean to reply to me or @sturlabragason@lemmy.world? If it’s me, could you please specify what you mean?
It’s a configuration error in Grub.
This has guidance on how to fix Grub; the 3rd answer on the page is the most comprehensive on how to fix this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/397485/what-to-do-when-i-get-an-attempt-to-read-or-write-outside-of-disk-hd0-error?noredirect=1&lq=1
This error (hd0) is typical of legacy (BIOS) booting end happens solely because of the MBR. GRUB2 is hit or miss with MBR.
If you’re not planning on dual booting with Windows XP/Vista/7, I’d recommend going to your motherboard settings and changing the boot mode to UEFI.
Then reinstall Debian. That will automatically sort things out :)
I thought the only reason to still use GRUB2 was its MBR support.
We really should be moving on at this point.
Interesting. Looks like perhaps your boot loader isn’t properly pointing at your root partition.
I’m assuming you’ve just done the install and never successfully booted, yes? In that case, you can try to re-run the installer, or try rescue mode and try repairing the bootloader.
Are you doing dual-booting, or is this system dedicated to Linux?
Yes, I have not been able to successfully boot yet. I have already rerun the installer and tried every solution I could find online in rescue mode. Tried repairing grub too.
No, I am not dual-booting.
Were you able to get this fixed? Have you changed boot settings like uefi and secure boot in your bios?
Yeah I just gave up on my primary and installed it on my secondary disk. My problem is gone now.
Look for a key in your keyboard labelled as “any” and press it. Setup should run fine afterwards.
