Package: debian-installer Severity: normal Tags: d-i Hello,
I have not reproduced this problem myself but it seems likely that it exists. I am writing here to be sure that nothing is overlooked and to give people who might have this problem a reference. This is a companion problem to bug #918590 and am told related to a problem fixed in Buster RC 1. grub-installer/grub-mkconfig can fail when in rescue mode in the installed system's chroot because of a long LVM related timeout. The workaround is reportedly something like: # mkdir /mnt/hostlvm # mount --bind /run/lvm /mnt/hostlvm # chroot /mnt # ln -s /hostlvm /run/lvm See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB#Device_/dev/xxx_not_initialized_in_udev_database_even_after_waiting_10000000_microseconds and https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1820949#p18209 -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.11 APT prefers oldstable APT policy: (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-11-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
