Hello,
after having unsuccesfully tried several ways to install trisquel on an efi
system, I come here to get some help.
I successfully booted and installed trisquel about ten times, always with the
same issue : grub can't install because it "can't get the canonical path
of'cow'".
I am aware that some operations must be done when booting (checking whether
it is legacy boot or efi boot) and that a GPT partition table with a
bios-grub partition must be created before installation in case of a legacy
grub install. I tried but am not sure if it was really succesful, because my
HDD still can't be selected to boot in the Bios :
The PC is an Asus R900V with an internal hard drive recognized by the BIOS
under Sata devices on port 0. Works perfectly when I work with it on a live
system, but can't select it on the Boot device priority option. Here is only
listed the DVD drive or the USB flash drive when I put one.
Here comes the question : can the HDD absence from boot options be due to a
wrong grub install ?
And also : can someone explain me the easiest and most reliable way to
install trisquel on this computer (I mean EFI vs Legacy boot)?
