Re: [LUG] Debian 9 reinstall. UEFI stuckness

 

Yes, trying to get off the right partition setup, since that didn't work and the previous one was bootable.

Currently looking at unable to install grub in dummy

Fatal error

Not a new machine, but I did an upgrade from Jessie to Stretch, followed by a new system drive and new netinstall to that.

It won't so far make itself bootable.

The first time round I seem to have said yes to UEFI, which in retrospect probably wasn't ideal, now I don't get an option to boot via grub.

Nuisance.

You -can- use grub2 with UEFI, but you need the right partition setup for UEFI ... I've always plumped for Ye Olde BIOS legacy-whatever-is-necessary so far, but I'm sure the time will (eventually) come when I have to cross that bridge ..

Maybe The Apple can stick an oar in here .. ?
