Package: devuan-installer
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Installing with the devuan_jessie_1.0.0_amd64_NETINST.iso installer
worked like a charm until it tried to install GRUB2.  That failed with

  main-menu[226]: WARNING **: Configuring 'grub-installer' failed with error code 1
  main-menu[226]: WARNING **: Menu-item 'grub-installer' failed.
  main-menu[226]: INFO: Modifying debconf priority limit from 'high' to 'medium'
  debconf: Setting debconf/priority to medium
  lilo-installer: LILO not usable on EFI PCs withouBIOS compatibility: use grub-efi

Comparing with the Debian 8.8.0 and 9.0.0 installers, I found that the
8.8.0 version displayed the same behaviour.  The installer for 9.0.0
worked fine though.

Comparing the grub-installer.udebs I noticed that NVMe drives are not
supported in the Devuan installer.  The attached patch worked fine for
me (UEFI install, encrypted LVM with separate partitions for /home, /var
and /tmp).  I "applied" the patch by executing a shell and editing the
/usr/bin/grub-installer with nano.

The patch as well as some other fixes are included in version 1.140 of
the grub-installer udeb.

# I'm aware of #23 but as that had zero detail of what the problem was I
# decided to submit this as a separate issue.  As this only affects NVMe
# drives, I figured important was good enough a priority.

Hope this helps,
