Thanks, this works! Is there a way to set this option during installation on a netinst image? - vinceh121 On 9/17/22 00:03, Steve McIntyre wrote:

However, many distros installs are broken by grub-install either safely failing, or making the kernel hang while trying to write NVRAM boot options. I've confirmed this on Debian Buster and Bullseye. This causes the netinst images to give us a mostly working installation, except for a config-less GRUB. For now, we've gone around this by manually booting with the GRUB CLI, and then running grub-install with the --no-nvram option. However, the problem reappears when running apt upgrade. Is there a way to mitigate this problem? Maybe a way to tell grub-install to always use --no-nvram?Yup. See https://wiki.debian.org/UEFI#Firmware_does_not_support_setting_boot_variables
