Hi Noah, although this is already solved (with [1]), I wanted to notify you, that the message I'm replying to, reached me (and possibly others) only after your last message, though it was sent earlier.
[1]: https://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2019/04/msg00144.html Looking into the message source it wasn't forwarded by [...].outlook.com for more than 7 hours. I don't see any greylisting applied on Debian's side. Maybe only a temporary issue, but it is irritating, especially, as the threading on [2] is now totally strange. Your last message is shown first in the thread, then an empty placeholder, then your actual first message, then your "middle" message.

Okay, so I tried again with everything on default mount points, and the same error and message appear. This appears to be some kind of problem with manual vs. automatic partitioning... Just wanted to put this out there.

Noatime. Sda4, 20gb Ext4 partition mounted at /. Noatime. Sda5, 5gb swap Sda6, 94gb Ext4 partition mounted at /home. Noatime. Installation goes well, then GRUB fails to install, giving the same message we've always seen. Here's what syslog says: Mk-hfs-bootstrap: the HFS bootstrap partition couldn't be found. Cannot continue! Exiting. Main-menu: cat: can't open /var/lib/partman/devices/=dev=SDB/string of numbers/mountpoint: no such file or directory WARNING**: Configuring grub-installer failed with error code 1 I suspect it has to do with the noatime mount points, although this has never happened before. Unless, of course, this is GRUB specific. I'll try again without them... Thanks all, Noah
