I've let this slip off my radar since, and it's not gone away. I'm seeing this problem really obviously with live installations now, as I've just been testing them with Secure Boot. Hoping to play with this more in the next few days... On Tue, Jul 25, 2017 at 11:33:36PM +0100, Steve McIntyre wro

Hey folks, Leif (in CC) pointed this out to me after he did a fresh Stretch installation over the weekend. I've just verified the problem myself. Our initial thought was that this might be specific to installations onto NVME, but I've tested and it's not, it's generic. Right at the end of a simpl
