Ok. I tried twice before to remember that sometimes FryingPan screwed up.
I succeed in installing Debain using gnome interface. We must remember to use ext4 for main partition.

But that didn't work. After rebooting, and may be before loading the xserver, I had a picture of sadness and the text "Ooops something was wrong, please relog". I pushed the button and I had dark screen and nothing more.

Ah sorry. forgot to warn you about installing Gnome. It does not work for some reason .I got the same sorry face myself .
Try Mate it should work (Works on Sam460ex)

When I read your last post, oh no !!!!
But you are forgiven. All is working perfectly, I highly recommend Debian Mate 8 for sam 400 users. It is more user friendly and faster.
I install audacious,mplayer2 and front-end then your mplayer2 exe. Mplayer is located in /usr/bin not in /usr/local/bin.
I will say that the colors are not screwed up like in Ubuntu 15 and no more modifications like the group sound to be added to the user group.

A last question (?!). What is the difference between the last iso you post here and the debian mate netinstaller I first intalled and found on supertux site (or something like that!)?
Thanks.

Edit: I forgot something. The kernel 4.0 is working too.

Thanks for the forgiveness.
Custom versions of apps like Mplayer should be installed in /usr/local/bin so that an update or re installation of the official updated does not replace the custom one.
The first debian Jessie installer was a combined Sam460ex and Sam 440ep one with older version of the kernel. Kernel 15.5 i believe .It was also based on a beta ramdisk, and I think I had experimented with an EXT4 partition. I has problems with the EXT4 partition and multiple installations of Linux .
The second version is the current Sam460ex version.The third one is this Sam440ep version that you installed.
The 3.18.11 kernel on this is from the long term kernel 3.18 branch. I wont use a 4.x kernel on an installer unless the problem with HDMI is resolved . The 3.18 and 3.19 branches support Radeon HDMI audio if your graphics card supports it. Not sure is it works on the Sam440ep-flex but was working well on the Sam460ex with Radeon HD cards up to HD6000 series . the 4.0 Kernels currently have problems booting with HDMI connected.

Glad to hear that the 4.0 kernel is working too. Will motivate me to compile a 4.02 Sam440ep kernel soon. Did the Sam460ex versions today .

Thank you very much for testing as you have prevented me from giving up on the Sam440ep machines.
