Package: cdrom Severity: important Tags: d-i X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] User: [email protected] Usertags: amd64 User: [email protected] Usertags: amd64 Dear Maintainer, I got a system that installs in non-UEFI mode but fails to mount the target install partition in UEFI mode. I've been told by a Linux graphics driver specialist that is bug is worth reporting. * What led up to the situation? Old PC (Intel Core i5-4690K CPU), SecureBoot off, Ventoy-based USB stick with Debian 13.2.0 netinst ISO. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? Ineffective: UEFI boot the USB stick, during "Partition Disks" the system says "The attempt to mount a fil system with type vfat in SCSI3 (0,0,0), partition #1 (sda) at /boot/efi failed". Effective: non-UEFI boot the stick, choose "Graphical Install" (note: I have to remove "vga=788" otherwise the display on the Radeon RX 5550 gets garbled -- I have been told this is a bug in the GPU BIOS), the install completes fine in 80x25 GUI mode. Kind regards, Daan
