Package: debian-installer
Severity: important
Tags: d-i
Dear Maintainer,
I tried to install Debian Stretch using the RC1 installer onto my
Thinkpad T430.
Installation hung at the install-grub step instead of completing
correctly.
By opening a console on a VT, I saw that the installer was hung in the
os-prober step. Since there is no other OS on this machine, I killed the
process at the end of the os-prober process tree, which was `dmsetup
create -r osprober-linux-sda1`.
This caused installation to continue and complete successfully without
any error notification.
I use a custom partitioning set-up, so I thought that possibly could be
the cause of the hang if it's something that the os-prober script can't
handle? This machine uses UEFI and has a EFI System Partition at the
front of sdb.
This output is after finishing the installation and booting into the
machine.
