Dears,




Please fix an issue in Debian installer that blocks automatic installation.

It affects all known Debian distributions on my machine.





http://78.108.103.11/~fojtik/debian11/DebianInstallFail.jpg




Debian could be hacked to finish installation and then works.





This does not look sane:

Looks like your partition is full.

Check if there are old and unneeded kernels installed. If so, uninstall these 
and try again.

Good luck!

Hello Jara,

Please could you install pastebininit, maybe and put all the details into a
pastebin rather than on your machine?

I suspect that there is something odd with the partition numbering and
logical partitions, possibly.

All the very best, as ever,

Andy Cater

Interesting, it looks like os-prober gets confused by your /dev/sdb and
the produced /boot/grub/grub.cfg.new doesn't look healthy.

So why not report it as a bug against the installer or os-prober?
