Machine: Acer Nitro 5 Processor: i7, 14-core Memory: 32GB Partitions: too hard to pick up - simple partition on a 4TB M.2 - with the DVD install, 4TB 2.5" SATA - in each case the partitions set up were identical Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [O] Detect network card: [O] Configure network: [O] Detect media: [O] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [E] Install base system: [O] Clock/timezone setup: [O] User/password setup: [O] Install tasks: [O] Install boot loader: [O] Overall install: [E] Comments/Problems: I intend to mirror the SATA and the M.2 4TB - the installer still does not support encrypted partitions - unless it is setting up a new one. The installer finishes and reboots but the reboot immediately aborts: /dev/mapper/...-vg-root has unsupported feature(s): FEATURE_C12 e2fsck: Get a newer [copy] of e2fsck! It was not clear how to obtain an updated e2fsck and how to insert it into the workflow; I can wait for the next (pre-)release. The daily CD's template may have been mismatched to the jigdo - jigdo-lite prompted for '42' in lieu of 'OK'. The install complained about /media/lairdheal/USB DISK/iwlwifi-so-a0-hr-b0-71.ucode (which I found it on github) and 72 (which I found in firmware-iwlwifi_20230210-1_all.deb) The installer did not open the .deb to use its contents. Since I was not using wifi, I did not bother to unpack it either. It looks much neater than the wild goose chase when I set up this HP Omen in 2020 or 2021. Maybe the 4TB partitions are throwing the monkey wrench into the e2fsck works. The installer said that was the maximum.
