Bug#1024720: d-i fails at grub when another installer is on disk
Package: installation-reports
Severity: normal
Boot method: USB
Image version: firmware-testing-amd64-netinst.iso (https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/weekly-builds/amd64/iso-cd/; 2022-11-21)
Date: Wed, 23 Nov 2022 20:27:28 +0100
Machine: Lenovo Thinkpad X13 Yoga Gen3
This machine came with an Ubuntu Installer on disk, in nvme0n1p2.
This confused the grub on the installer image as it did not find the
correct root partition:
} grub> search --file --set=root /.disk/info
} grub> echo $root
} hd0,gpt2
As opposed to (cd0).
A workaround was to rename the .disk/info file on nvme0n1p2.
A fix might be if each installer image used and searched for a unique
file.
Cheers,
weasel
