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.
