I commented out the LC_ALL thinking it might make the error go away.
The docs mention not setting it at all.
There's no /root/.bashrc, yet anyway.

This is true. While I copy from current rig because it makes it easier,
and reduces the likely hood of a typo, I also check the docs to make
sure the settings are the same. The LC and LANG settings don't seem to
have changed any.
I think I either missed something or set something wrong somewhere. I
just can't figure out what it is. I was hoping another pair of eyes
would help. If not, I may just start over. I'm still really confused
over the efi thing and how partitions are to be set up. While I've read
about efi, I've never understood how it works. If I could, I'd still
use the old BIOS method. It worked just fine for me. :/
