I had a working Debian Xfce system. I followed the instructions to migrate to Devuan. After the reboot stage, the system booted into a system prompt. I continued entering the listed commands. When I was through, I rebooted only to see Debian in the OS to be booted. Then it returned to the system prompt. I will reinstall Debian.

@ fsmithred "Correct. It's the user that has to change their behavior."
Funny how Debian and Linux Mint don't have this problem. But, yeah, it's the user's fault.
I tried again, only this time I selected "Ignore." We'll see what happens.

The hardware is an Intel NUC NUC12WSKi5 with 16 GB memory and a Samsung 970 Pro 512 GB NVMe SSD. Previously I was able to install Linux Mint 21.2 MATE.
I wiped the SSD using gnome-disk-utility (simple format). I started installing Daedalus. After the partitioning step -- I chose guided using entire disk -- I got a message telling me that Devuan could not inform the kernel of changes. I have no idea what that means. I tried it again with the same result. This is a showstopper bug.
Then I installed Debian 12 MATE with no problems. Methinks you have a serious bug.

@ralph.ronnquist
Yes, I noticed that (non-free) on a Debian system. I did not notice it on the Devuan system, so you're probably correct about the problem. This is on an AMD laptop that has always acted strangely with certain Linux distributions.
And strangely, after a couple of reboots, the sharpie-text went away and now text looks normal. Whatever.

I just tried to upgrade a 4.0 MATE system. There were some strange things happening that contradicted the release notes, but I persisted. After it completed, I looked at the downloads folder. Holy cow! Most of the filenames looked as if a child had attacked them with a sharpie. I took a screenshot, but the screenshot filename was corrupted the same way. I copied it to a USB flash drive and transferred it to a Linux Mint system. The file and the filename are fine, so it's a display issue on the original system. I will now rebuild the system, but not with 5.0.
If someone wants to tell me how to upload files here, I can show the screenshot.
#6 Hardware & System Configuration » NUC Ethernet not found » 2023-07-31 16:42:21

I have a new NUC, the specifications of which are below:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en … tions.html
The Ethernet card is Intel Ethernet Controller i225-V. However, during installation, I was notified that there is no Ethernet, which is strange because there is an Ethernet port in the back and I suspect that Intel did not forget to include the internal card. I was able to install via the USB flash drive, as Devuan complained that the mirror was faulty.
So where do I find the device driver for Intel Ethernet Controller i225-V?
