Bug#949209: installation-reports: grub install fails because efivarfs is not mounted on /target
Package: installation-reports
Dear Maintainer,
I've installed debian on my computer with the following partitions :
# / (partitionless btrfs ssd)
UUID=586da4fd-9a26-4350-8146-929dbdde3581 / btrfs defaults 0 0
# /boot/efi (fat partition on GPT ssd)
UUID=6A71-114F /boot/efi vfat umask=0077 0 1
# swap (swap partition on GPT ssd)
UUID=3f398aee-8e74-4b2e-b7a9-6b537d9bb414 none swap sw 0 0
# /home/julien (partitionless btrfs ssd)
UUID=3e47af4b-7d6d-4830-ac7b-16345771896f /home/j btrfs defaults 0 0
At the grub step, i've got a grub-install dummy failed error.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I've switched to the shell and executed the following commands :
# mount -t sys sys /target/sys
# mount -t efivarfs efivarfs /target/sys/firmware/efi/efivars
# chroot /target/ bash
# grub-install
# update-grub
And I've resumed the normal installation process.
