Hi In scripts/GRUB_EFI/10-setup the final "else" clause does not include the "--force-extra-removable" option for the "grub-install" command; the other clauses do have this option. Is this a bug or is there a reason I don't understand? Lines 60-65: ----- else $ROOTCMD grub-install --no-floppy --modules=part_gpt "$GROOT" if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then echo "Grub installed on $BOOT_DEVICE = $GROOT" fi fi ----- The comment at the top of the file seems to indicate that this option should be present in all cases. I ask as I have run into the error on an older Dell 7040 model that has the bug in the firmware where it looks for \EFI\boot\bootx64.efi instead of \EFI\debian\grubx64.efi. The fix is to install grub with this option present. If the missing option is intentional, other than customizing this fai script, any suggestions on a good solution for fixing this in my config?
