Bug#694570: installation failures with d-i beta4 relating to EFI
Package: installation-reports Severity: critical Justification: makes baby jesus cry Hi, I just tried d-i beta4 amd64 netinst on my lenovo thinkpad x121e laptop. The Laptop's firmware has boot mode set to 'either/both' for legacy BIOS/EFI. The storage device was a totally blank SSD, no prior OS. Upon boot, prior to the point where I get to choose graphical / text / rescue, I get the following error message (this does not stop me progressing): error: prefix not set Install progressed as normal. The guided partition scheme created a GPT partition table and a 512M EFI partition in addition to boot. It seemed to select grub2-efi. I got a message like the following towards the end of the process: grub-install dummy failed The resulting install won't boot; I get the following error¹ Loading Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 ... Loading initial ramdisk ... error: no suitable mode found. Booting however That's the last thing I see. No keyboard lights or other activity. I'll just retry this and see if I can capture anything from d-i before rebooting out of it. ¹ https://twitter.com/jmtd/status/273521879510298624/photo/1 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
