| 00:03.39 | nyov | teknite, a brand new cable can still be bad. if it's possible try another one first (borrow from a friend maybe) but it would probably fail faster then |
| 00:04.01 | nyov | more likely some bad write cache flash in the unit, and because it takes some time to hit that cache and fail, that guy escaped Q&A testing. |
| 00:04.02 | tharkun | After almost an hour of downloading and installing Debian 10, I get a "Unable to install GRUP in /dev/sda |
| 00:04.35 | tharkun | /dev/sda has Windows and an LVM partition. Any ideas on how to plroceed? |
| 00:07.07 | teknite | nyov, thanks for the help, unfortunately I'd have to buy another cable to do this test, I wish the logs would be more helpful pointing me in the right direction, but that's how it goes... |
| 00:07.08 | nyov | installing to /dev/sda means installing to MBR, I believe. you could try installing to your linux partition (/dev/sdaX) instead, that should be an option? |
| 00:07.26 | tharkun | Not an option stated anywhere. |
| 00:07.43 | tharkun | Currently I am on grub rescue about to add the /dev... line |

| 00:09.14 | nyov | teknite: all I can say is the error you see there does happen with a bad cable. but from the computers perspective, there's not much difference to see |
| 00:11.01 | teknite | nyov, "bad cable?" was in the ubuntu dmesg. I'll see if I can find another one. thanks for your help! |
| 00:11.38 | nyov | np |
| 00:15.58 | tharkun | ok, back to square one. How do I nuke the LVM and start from there from the installer? |

| 00:37.26 | CaptainShell | tharkun: repartition with MBR/GPT when you renistall |
| 00:38.03 | nyov | tharkun: yeah, it might make sense to _start_ with the boot loader installer in the process, just because it's so crappy when that last step then fails after all the work |
| 00:38.23 | CaptainShell | Can GPT partitions be booted from legacy BIOS systems (I know M$ chose to not support this)? |
| 00:39.02 | CaptainShell | It's quite easy to manually install the boot loader, are you saying that an install where the last step fails is a failed install? |
| 00:39.46 | nyov | it is for the regular user, who doesn't run around with a rEFInd usb stick |

| 00:43.50 | EdePopede | isn't a protective MBR meant to hold only one single partition entry? i only have an USB HDD preformatted with NTFS being reported as having such. so if either the partition at the beginning of that area includes a bootloader or there is a 2nd entry (which i'm not sure would conform to the specs) pointing to some bootable GPT partition (including boot mark) i guess it should work. |
