Package: debian-installer Severity: important Tags: d-i Dear Maintainer,
I tried to install Debian Stretch using the RC1 installer onto my Thinkpad T430. Installation hung at the install-grub step instead of completing correctly. By opening a console on a VT, I saw that the installer was hung in the os-prober step. Since there is no other OS on this machine, I killed the process at the end of the os-prober process tree, which was `dmsetup create -r osprober-linux-sda1`. This caused installation to continue and complete successfully without any error notification. I use a custom partitioning set-up, so I thought that possibly could be the cause of the hang if it's something that the os-prober script can't handle? This machine uses UEFI and has a EFI System Partition at the front of sdb. This output is after finishing the installation and booting into the machine. $ lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 465.8G 0 disk └─sda1 8:1 0 465.8G 0 part └─sda1_crypt 254:5 0 465.8G 0 crypt └─spin-home 254:6 0 238.4G 0 lvm /home sdb 8:16 0 232.9G 0 disk ├─sdb1 8:17 0 487M 0 part /boot/efi ├─sdb2 8:18 0 488M 0 part /boot └─sdb3 8:19 0 232G 0 part └─sdb3_crypt 254:0 0 232G 0 crypt ├─ssd-swap 254:1 0 14.9G 0 lvm [SWAP] ├─ssd-tmp 254:2 0 29.8G 0 lvm /tmp ├─ssd-root 254:3 0 59.6G 0 lvm / └─ssd-var 254:4 0 119.2G 0 lvm /var $ mount | column -t sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) proc on /proc type proc (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) udev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,nosuid,relatime,size=8114844k,nr_inodes=2028711,mode=755) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000) tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,size=1625196k,mode=755) /dev/mapper/ssd-root on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered) securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev) tmpfs on /run/lock type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,size=5120k) tmpfs on /sys/fs/cgroup type tmpfs (ro,nosuid,nodev,noexec,mode=755) cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,xattr,release_agent=/lib/systemd/systemd-cgroups-agent,name=systemd) pstore on /sys/fs/pstore type pstore (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) efivarfs on /sys/firmware/efi/efivars type efivarfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,cpu,cpuacct) cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls,net_prio type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,net_cls,net_prio) cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,perf_event) cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,blkio) cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/memory type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,memory) cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,cpuset) cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,freezer) cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/devices type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,devices) cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/pids type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,pids) systemd-1 on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type autofs (rw,relatime,fd=36,pgrp=1,timeout=0,minproto=5,maxproto=5,direct,pipe_ino=9633) mqueue on /dev/mqueue type mqueue (rw,relatime) debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw,relatime) hugetlbfs on /dev/hugepages type hugetlbfs (rw,relatime) /dev/sdb2 on /boot type ext2 (rw,relatime,block_validity,barrier,user_xattr,acl) /dev/mapper/ssd-tmp on /tmp type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered) /dev/mapper/ssd-var on /var type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered) /dev/sdb1 on /boot/efi type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0077,dmask=0077,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro) /dev/mapper/spin-home on /home type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered) tmpfs on /run/user/1000 type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,size=1625192k,mode=700,uid=1000,gid=1000) -- Regards, Scott
