Hi.. This is just regurgitating something related to my coincidentally referencing several years of GRUB non-boots yesterday. The latest on this Linux From Scratch thread came into my inbox this morning, and it just sounds like it might help some Users having booting problems similar to what I've experienced.
The Linux From Scratch thread is here: https://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/sympa/arc/lfs-dev/2023-02/msg00018.html Today's entry referenced this from Launchpad from 2019: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1844012 The first response says three years. That's about how long I've had horrific issues in attempting to boot via GRUB/GRUB2. My time today will be spent reading what they're saying AGAIN to then try to match it up with my Debian debootstrap. If it eventually makes sense, I'm going to check the same variable, etc, for the various other operating systems' LiveDVDs that have successfully booted up the last few months. An issue like this makes sense with respect to how I duplicated all of Mint's installed GRUB files via Debian's own counterparts a couple days ago... and it still did NOT boot on Debian. I HOPE it turns out to be that one or more of Debian's various GRUB files have a feature toggled on that the successfully booting operating systems have toggled off. That would include that one Debian installer I tried recently, by the way. A lot has happened since then so I've forgotten the minor details. That instance of Debian obviously had to have booted because I encountered some other showstopper issue once it got loaded up. I was working with it off of the partition, not a DVD at the time. I'm back into debootstrap, and I'm not touching installers again... well, unless it somehow ultimately benefits Testing/Unstable's developers. :) See you all out here..
