After noticing /var/lib/dpkg/info/live-installer.postinst and seeing it has the crucial step commented out I think the source of the issue is now identified.
live-installer debian/live-installer.postinst: waypoint 1 check_target waypoint 1 get_mirror_info waypoint 100 install_live_system waypoint 1 pre_install_hooks #waypoint 1 setup_dev waypoint 1 configure_apt_preferences waypoint 1 configure_apt waypoint 3 apt_update waypoint 5 post_install_hooks waypoint 1 pick_kernel_if_missing waypoint 20 install_kernel The question is, is live-installer in control here, or base-installer? The syslog messages indicate base-installer but there's no sign of its postinst script in the running installer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1582899 Title: in-target: mkinitramfs: failed to determine device for / To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/base-installer/+bug/1582899/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
