script seems to install grub-pc instead of grub-efi #1

basically after trying to use your script the PC does not boot - the install creates EFI boot partitions but then installs grub-pc.

Any idea what's going on?

thx

Sorry, the script is not ready for EFI (yet), maybe I should add this to the documentation.

It installs the EFI partition for later use. Maybe I'll add EFI support some time, but please feel free to send your patches.

Thanks, my main worry is that it does not work for me :(, the system does not boot, although the script runs fine w/o errors.

I thought it might have something with the positions it creates but looks like that's not it.

The system complaints that it cannot find OS.

Any ideas?

I just pushed https://github.com/hn/debian-jessie-zfs-root/commit/9305f7f0bdcd019754363310ea8e3bc0780e46f8 to add preliminary EFI support (INCOMPLETE and UNTESTED). Hope that helps you to debug further.

Great, will test it. Thing is, I am not sure if it has something to do with the PC I am trying to install (it is an Intel NUC) or with that thing that sits between the chair and keyboard :-)

I think I'll first use a VM to see if it works - if yes, I am probably mis-configuring something in the NUC BIOS - but at least I'll know where to look.

Will let you know - and thanks for uploading this!

ok the original script installed OK and booted off in a KVM VM (q35 v2.6). This leads me to believe the NUC I have (Intel NUC BOXDN2820FYKH0) has BIOS issues and won't recognize the install :-(.

Need to start diggin' - hate it when I get these problems :-(

Any luck with EFI?
