Why didn't you use any of the snapshots that you previously used and that are known to work? You keep repeating this mistake. Until all of the changes that I have made have been properly merged into all parts of Debian - which is a long and tedious process - you should not be using random ISO images but only those which are known to work. Search through your inbox and look for the one where you know the installation works. > It booted fine and I chose to do the default non-graphical install in > non-expert mode. > I accepted all the default options up to partitioning disks, where I chose > "guided -- > use entire disk" with "Separate /home partition" this resulted in a > partition scheme > with a hfs partition mounted on /boot/EFI but no /boot partition per se. The path "/boot/EFI" is already a pointer that this particular ISO image is missing the partman-hfs module and you should have just stopped here. The proper path here is /boot/grub and it must be formatted as HFS. Use a different, known to work image. Adrian -- .''`.
