Package: debian-installer
Version: stretch alpha 4
Severity: important
Tags: d-i

Dear Maintainer,

I have a new System76 Oryx Pro laptop using efi boot.  Ubuntu installs
successfully but I can't get debian to install using encrypted LVM.

The laptop has an nvme device which requires efi boot so I can't just disable
it.  Here are my repro steps:

1. Boot using netinst (tried both stable and testing, stable doesn't work at all I think due to efi?)
2. Performed normal install (tried both text and gui)
3. Included proprietary firmware for wifi from usb key when prompted
4. selected encrypted LVM with separate home partition, changed root partition
to 20GB and made some other lvm adjustments
5. proceeded to install base system successfully
6. when it comes time to install grub, it fails.  no better error message
provided, nothing in /var/logs either

The laptop came with working ubuntu on it, and I was able to boot from an ubuntu
live CD.  I was able to chroot into the installed system from here and
everything looked right, but I still haven't figured out the right incantation
of grub to get it to install so it will unlock my encrypted drive (right now, it
does boot off the nvme device but drops me to a grub prompt).

Short of becoming a grub wizard, the best way to get my system the way I want it
is probaly to fix the installer =|  if there is anything I can do to provide
extra information, please do not hesitate to contact me.  I also hang out on
freenode as cmyers.

Thanks!

Hi,

similar to the installation-reports bugs, I'm closing the grub-installer reports 
below.

These are reports for Debian 4 / 6 / 7 / 9 where grub-installer fails (for 
various reasons).


There have been numerous changes/improvements on this topics in the past, and 
also because of the age of the reports we should consider these problems as 
being fixed (or it is even reported in the bugs that they are fixed).
They are most likely of no use anymore for recent releases.

If you know, that the issue you reported (and gets closed here) is still 
existing in recent installation images, please file a new report for that with 
up-to-date details!

Thank you for filing these bug reports, they have been very useful at the time 
they were filed!
