--- Begin Message ---Package: grub-efi-ia32-bin Version: 2.02~beta2-22 Severity: important Tags: d-i Dear Maintainer, When installing Debian 8 on a system with a x86_64 CPU, but with a 32bit UEFI, debian-installer correctly identifies the system as requiring a 32bit EFI Grub, and thus tries to install grub-efi-ia32-bin. However, this package is not contained on the amd64 installation DVD, requiring an active internet connection to get the package from a package server. This may not always be possible, for example when the network hardware is not supported by the installed Linux kernel and no alternative network connection is available. Please add this package to the installation DVD so an internet connection is not required during installation. Thank you. -- Package-specific info: *********************** WARNING grub-setup left core.img in filesystem *********************** BEGIN /proc/mounts /dev/dm-0 / ext4 rw,noatime,discard,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/sda1 /boot vfat rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=utf8,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro 0 0 *********************** END /proc/mounts *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/device.map (hd0) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-SAMSUNG_MZ7TD256HAFV-000L7_S16GNEAD601136 (hd1) /dev/disk/by-id/usb-SanDisk_Cruzer_Pattern_3109330F0440D127-0:0 *********************** END /boot/grub/device.map *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/grub.cfg # # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE # # It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates # from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub # ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ### if [ -s $prefix/grubenv ];
