I have an installer that works correctly when booting EFI but not BIOS. I've seen several examples that show stuff like this:
from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/core-process/linux-unattended-installation/master/ubuntu/20.04/custom/preseed.cfg : --------------------------------- ... ### GPT d-i partman-basicfilesystems/choose_label string gpt d-i partman-basicfilesystems/default_label string gpt d-i partman-partitioning/choose_label string gpt d-i partman-partitioning/default_label string gpt d-i partman/choose_label string gpt d-i partman/default_label string gpt ### EFI d-i partman-efi/non_efi_system boolean true ### Grub d-i grub-installer/only_debian boolean true d-i grub-installer/with_other_os boolean true ### Disk layout # Keep 25% free space d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string \ boot-root :: \ 1 1 1 free \ $bios_boot{ } \ method{ biosgrub } \ . \ 256 256 256 fat32 \ $primary{ } \ $iflabel{ gpt } \ $reusemethod{ } \ method{ efi } format{ } \ mountpoint{ /boot/efi } \ ... --------------------------------- My config ( https://github.com/idaholab/Malcolm/blob/master/sensor-iso/config/includes.binary/install/preseed_base.cfg and https://github.com/idaholab/Malcolm/blob/master/sensor-iso/config/includes.binary/install/preseed_vmware.cfg) looks similar, but the installer hangs at the end at a blank screen with a blinking cursor. I'm able to activate another terminal and I see repeated messages with "process '/sbin/debian-installer' (pid 12345) exited. Scheduling for restart." It works fine with EFI installation, however. I've obviously done something wrong, either in the preseed or somewhere else. Any tips on how I can narrow it down, or what I might be doing wrong? -SG -- Seth Grover Be kind to all of your neighbors Because they're just like you.
