Installation seems to run smoothly but after reboot grub presents itself without the "graphical" selection menu but instead delivers the line "Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported..."
I ran into this upgrading one of my EFI machines to the latest bewolf, it would only boot to the grub prompt.
I can't remember the exact steps I did to determine the cause, but it ended up being that the EFI 'loader' was looking for the EFI grub.cfg in EFI/debian, and not devuan.
My fix was to create a directory named debian under the EFI directory and copy the files from devuan into debian. This got the system booting normally again, I just had not had a chance to dig in any deeper and post a possible bug report.
Anyway, as for getting the system started to even get to this point, I suggest using this page as a reference, under the section of "Using the GRUB2 boot prompt" ( https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/bootloading-with-grub2/ )
Nutshell, at the grub prompt: - ls to find the drives grub sees and find the EFI filesystem - set root= to point grub to the root filesystem for the OS - linux to point grub to the kernel to load - initrd to point grub to the initrd to load - boot to see if it all works Hopefully this helps you get the system booting _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
