How to fix installed boot under Uefi for Acer Aspire ES15

2017-05-19 Thread Pavel Vlček

Dear members,

I have the Aspire ES1-533 laptop, originelly with Bootup Linux. I 
installed Debian 9 RC 3, but after installation, I can't boot to it. 
When I mont /dev/sda1, which is boot and esb, I can see uefi folder, 
with Debian subfolder and with some grub.efi file. I know, this laptop 
model is very limited, no legaci support and only Windows 10 works here, 
but I bought this laptop, because here was Linux os, so I uess, LInux 
distros must work here, but not. Can you help me please? I installed 
Debian with speech mode, I am screen reader users. I can boot other 
distros with usb flash normally, so I don't know, why laptop can't see 
Debian installed.


Thanks,

Pavel Vlček

Well, it's not really re-created on every boot, just if /etc/mtab is
*not* a relative symlink to ../proc/self/mounts.

debootstrap from sid creates /etc/mtab as relative symlink to
../proc/mounts afaics (the version from jessie seems to create it as an
absolute symlink to /proc/mounts)

So I guess the problem here is that there is a mismatch between what
debootstrap creates and what systemd-tmpfiles (i.e. debian.conf) expects.

In jessie we handled this slightly differently [1]. We had a dedicated
service unit which checked if /etc/mtab was a symlink. So we didn't run
into the issue there, that the symlink can be absolute or relative and
point to either /proc/mounts or /proc/self/mounts.

We chose ../proc/self/mounts in debian.conf since that's also what's
used by systemd upstream [2], i.e. we are consistent with other distros
in that aspect.

Maybe we can change debootstrap to use ../proc/self/mounts or is there a
good reason why it should point to ../proc/mounts?

CCed the debootstrap maintainers for their input.

Regards,
Michael

Could we get one more upload of installation-guide to stretch, please? :-)
