Is it an EFI machine? Is /boot/efi mounted when you boot the installation image? If it were EFI, it would be a GPT partition table, not a DOS one. It seems to me there’s confusion here: the generated config file seems to be using ‘grub-efi-bootloader’, but the machine is actually not EFI. WDYT? Thanks, Ludo’.
