Package: devuan-installer
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Installing with the devuan_jessie_1.0.0_amd64_NETINST.iso installer
worked like a charm until it tried to install GRUB2. That failed with
main-menu[226]: WARNING **: Configuring 'grub-installer' failed with error code 1
main-menu[226]: WARNING **: Menu-item 'grub-installer' failed.
main-menu[226]: INFO: Modifying debconf priority limit from 'high' to 'medium'
debconf: Setting debconf/priority to medium
lilo-installer: LILO not usable on EFI PCs withouBIOS compatibility: use grub-efi
Comparing with the Debian 8.8.0 and 9.0.0 installers, I found that the
8.8.0 version displayed the same behaviour. The installer for 9.0.0
worked fine though.
Comparing the grub-installer.udebs I noticed that NVMe drives are not
supported in the Devuan installer. The attached patch worked fine for
me (UEFI install, encrypted LVM with separate partitions for /home, /var
and /tmp). I "applied" the patch by executing a shell and editing the
/usr/bin/grub-installer with nano.
The patch as well as some other fixes are included in version 1.140 of
the grub-installer udeb.
# I'm aware of #23 but as that had zero detail of what the problem was I
# decided to submit this as a separate issue. As this only affects NVMe
# drives, I figured important was good enough a priority.
Hope this helps,
