If you could read you would have observed that the issue is that Debian when
it starts to do the second stage of the instulation has a number of
components that are marked as failed to open on second stage boot. No matter
how you cut it, no matter how you wine obout how great Debian is the simple

Thus good by DEbian
On with a distribution that will install.
Oh and have a happy wining day.
