The images are set up in virtual machines which boot using EFI, but flash-kernel installation always fails as it detects that the system is running in EFI by checking for the existence of /sys/firmware/efi. Being able to setup the image on these VMs is an important part of our testing and validation workflow, so it would be very helpful to have an option to skip this check and proceed regardless of whether the system is currently running in EFI mode or not. I've added a debdiff for a proposal for a new parameter --force-efi which can be set to skip this check. --- diff -Nru flash-kernel-3.106/debian/changelog flash-kernel-3.106+nmu1/debian/changelog --- flash-kernel-3.106/debian/changelog 2022-04-22 23:55:41.0 + +++ flash-kernel-3.106+nmu1/debian/changelog2023-03-31 13:04:23.0 + @@ -1,3 +1,10 @@ +flash-kernel (3.106+nmu1) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium + + * Skip EFI detection mechanism when the --force-efi option +has been set. + + -- Isaac True Fri, 31 Mar 2023 13:04:23 + + flash-kernel (3.106) unstable; urgency=medium * db/all.db: Move MNT Reform 2 boards later to fix sort order. diff -Nru flash-kernel-3.106/flash-kernel.8 flash-kernel-3.106+nmu1/flash-kernel.8 --- flash-kernel-3.106/flash-kernel.8 2022-03-23 14:22:28.0 + +++ flash-kernel-3.106+nmu1/flash-kernel.8 2023-03-31 13:04:23.0 + @@ -3,7 +3,7 @@ .SH NAME flash-kernel \- put kernel and initramfs in boot location .SH SYNOPSIS -.B flash-kernel [--supported] [--force] [kvers] +.B flash-kernel [--supported] [--force] [--force-efi] [kvers] .SH DESCRIPTION flash-kernel is a script which will put the kernel and initramfs in the boot location of embedded devices that don't load the kernel and @@ -25,6 +25,11 @@ match.

So, I'd say there's perhaps a bug in what it should guess the user meant when specifying a relative path as a value for preseed/file, but probably more likely it should just reject a relative path at that point with an error about it needing a path that is somehow anchored.

The screen showed a checksum string of "". (I took a screen shot of the error message, then failed to preserve it. Sorry.) I had recently added several items to my preseed file, one of which was: # The installer can optionally verify checksums of preconfiguration files # before using them. Currently only md5sums are supported, list the md5sums # in the same order as the list of files to include. #d-i preseed/include/checksum string 5da499872becccfeda2c4872f9171c3d I deleted those lines entirely, and re-ran the installation. I did not get the checksum error on the second try, and the preseed file was properly located and run. Did I hit a bug? I doubt it is the way the last line is commented out, because there are plenty of other lines that are similarly commented out (no space between the # and the d). syslog and preseed.cfg files are attached. Unless I'm missing something, the file is to be checksummed before the content is available to d-i, the lines would simply be there to document what the installer can do. I would assume that it would work as kernel boot parameter. -- John Doe
Debian installer can't install Debian testing in VirtualBox when EFI enabled
I don't know if it's the bug of Debian installer or VirtualBox, anyway, when EFI is enabled in VirtualBox, Debian testing just can't install whatever Graphics Controller is in VirtualBox. I am using VirtualBox 7.0.8 and 6.1.44, and the lastest Debian testing ISO released on April 17, 2023. Licheng Hsu
