ThSince last Sunday, I’ve been trying to install Debian 12 as a server OS on a Dell XPS 8900. I’ve seemingly been so close and yet so far. I’ve gotten 2 errors repeatly. One is one I can’t avoid, the other one I can.
The one I haven’t been able to avoid is “fclose: no space left on device”. I have tried changing grub settings to ‘pcie_aspm=off’. I tried changing the actual pcie for the hard drive, maybe I had a faulty one. The only thing I can think of is that I took the hard drive out, plugged it into a laptop via USB to check if it had anything important and put it back in to install Debian.
The other issue is an out of memory kernal panic but that’s been fixed.
This has been a pretty major source of frustration all week. If anyone can suggest something that might help. I’ll try it, cheers

"fclose: no space left on device”
How big is the partition you are installing Debian to? Does it happen right away or after a little while? If it’s right away, the drive might be failing and thus going into read-only state.
Its not immediately, but I’m installing it to a 1 tb mechanical hard drive (the spinny)
Post your logs. Idk if the live medium is systemd but if it is they’ll be accessed with “journalctl”
The only terminal i can get is busybox
Maybe liveboot it and do a smart test on the drive?
