Had a stare at this. partman-efi mostly disables itself if not booted under EFI (https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman- efi/tree/init.d/efi?h=ubuntu/groovy#n15), I think that's why the partition type doesn't get set and why the partition doesn't get formatted. I'm not sure what the consequence of simply not checking that would be.
Also, I think grub-installer needs to grow a way to override archdetect (maybe just ARCH="${ARCH:-$(archdetect)}" or whatever) and ubiquity needs to call it twice. IOW this is a fair bit of work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1847721 Title: Always create the ESP To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-auto/+bug/1847721/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
