There’s no EFI (vfat) partition here. Is it an EFI machine?
Is /boot/efi mounted when you boot the installation image?
If it were EFI, it would be a GPT partition table, not a DOS one.
It seems to me there’s confusion here: the generated config file seems
to be using ‘grub-efi-bootloader’, but the machine is actually not EFI.
WDYT?
Thanks,
Ludo’.
