Thankfully (sort of) it was a hardware issue. The drive wasn't slotting in correctly. I think I was panicked by the installer suggesting drivers, although in all fairness it did say hard drive not detected. I should have known better to first explore the hardware itself.

Thanks for your patience. Long time debian user and I've been meaning to migrate to devuan for some time. I chose KDE and it's looking very good.

Thanks.

Hi fsmithred

I chose regular install.

The message said that I needed a driver for the hard drive. It gave me a long list of options and the option to select a driver from external media. I've used the kingspec a number of times for a number of distros. It currently has alpine os on it.

I'm going to try the install in a different laptop.

I'll get back with an update ASAP

Are you sure you need one? At what point in the installation is it asking for a driver, and what does the message say?
Did you choose expert or regular install?

Installer asks for driver.

I can't locate a driver.
