-- I'm still not seeing the output of os-prober with the set -x option working. I updated /target/usr/bin/os-prober with the -x option added. I was expecting it to show up in the syslog. Apparently still having trouble following the twisty maze of passages all alike. I will try again. -- Also you

Ok, new experiment. I'm including the steps here and in an attached README along with outputs captured at various points in the process in a tar.gz file. I've moved drives around throughout this debugging process, but for this experiment they were; /dev/sda - 80GB spinner (os install drive) /dev/

Public bug reported: Installation freezes on grub install at 66%. syslog shows grub-install ran successfully, then seems to have actually gotten stuck in the next step (osprober). Photo attached, sorry for the terrible quality from HTC. ** Affects: os-prober (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided

Yes, its reproducible. Dell PowerEdge T110 (circa ~2009). I can give more details if it would be helpful. I found a /bin/os-prober (no /usr/bin/os-prober), and added the x option. Resulting syslog is the same as before, no additional information. Is there another file I should be looking in? --

I've attached the os-prober output when run as the install was waiting for me to confirm installing grub on the master boot record. ** Attachment added: "os-prober.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/os-prober/+bug/1770173/+attachment/5155546/+files/os-prober.log -- You received t

Sorry, this is my first time trying to debug os-level installer. I don't know how to switch the install from auto to manual, then back to auto. I ran the auto install through to the point where it was waiting for me to confirm the grub install on the master boot record, where I would normally say

Ok, I understand now what your previous question meant. Yes, I believe the os-prober completed normally (returned to the command prompt) with the output as in the previously attached os-prober.log. I ran it with 2>&1, so both stdout and stderr would be included in that file, and I didn't notice an

Problem solved. There was a USB stick plugged directly in to the motherboard which I had forgotten about since changing this box over from a freeNAS install. Once that was removed, the install completed with no hangup. I'll include the output from the point where it was hung. Both from ps, and fro
