Afterward, the installation process failed on the step "base system installation" saying the it could not install base system. This was because /target/var was mounted noexec, so scripts cannot be executed I bypassed the problem by opening a console and executing the command "mount -o remount,exec /target/var" then exiting the console, and relaunching the base system installation My advice is to force, during install, mount of /var as exec, just like every partition is forced as rw, even if we select "ro" from the options of a partition -- Please make sure that the hardware-summary log file, and any other installation logs that you think would be useful are attached to this report.
