Hi,

Can you post your partition table?

Does the 8GB rule apply to the iMac you have (the macos partition must
be at the initial 8GB of the disk)? I solve this once by adding a
100MB /boot partition at the beginning of the disk an then a 7GB
partition for the macos system folder containing partition and only
then all other debian partitions.

cheers,
