    Hello there,
    I am facing a serious issues installing the "Bullseye" version of debian. Especially with Disks. I would be glad if you help me out. I am trying to install live+nonfree latest version of debian. Initially i get error that
    says SM bus busy. After I boot into live environment, I get another issue.
    I cant locate my secondary HDD on Lenovo slim 5.(i5 11th gen, Nvidia MX450, 8gigs RAM, 256gigs SSD+1TB HDD). Please help.
    Thank you.

    Hello Rohan,

    This might be better asked on debian-user which is the mailing list for
    user support.

    A couple of straightfrorward questions:

    Is this a first ever Debian install for you?

    Do you have any other operating system on the laptop that you wish to
    retain?

    Do you wnt the laptop to only run Debian?

    I would suggest that you use the standard Debian installer (rather than a
    Live DVD) and also that you use the unofficial installer which does contain
    the firmware found in non-free.

    https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/current/amd64/iso-cd/firmware-11.0.0-amd64-netinst.iso is the small
    netinst image.

    Hope this helps,

    With every good wish,

    Andrew Cater
