Debian : 7.6.0 : x86_84 : installs cleanly but fails to boot

by Mayuresh Kathe

Hello, I have an HP AiO 18 which runs Ubuntu 14.10 successfully. It is my first attempt at Debian 7.6.0 under my x86_64 machine. While the install process went well, the first boot just doesn't happen. The boot-up menu is shown and when I select the first item; Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64, the screen just blanks out. There are no boot messages, nothing. The num-lock indicator lights up and then goes out. After waiting a while, I tried the caps-lock key, it's responsive by way of the indicator going on and off. On hitting ctrl+alt+del the system just reboots without going through the usual system shutdown sequence. Any ideas about how I could resolve this? Thanks, ~Mayuresh
