I'm having trouble performing a baremetal install of VIRL 1.6.65 on my Dell Server. I keep getting " failed Executing 'grub-install /dev/nvme0n1'. failed. this is a fatal error" I suspect it has something to do with the Partition Table: gpt.
Any assistance I can get would be great.
When I run the grub-install command manually I get the following error:
sudo grub-install /dev/nvme0n1
Installing for i386-pc platform.
gurb-install: error: failed to get canonical path of 'aufs'.
I've attached the /var/logs from the installer.
System details:
PowerEdge R730xd with NVME and 11 drives.
RAM: 512.00 GB
CPU: 2x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v4 @ 2.40GHz
NIC: MLNX 40Gb 2P ConnectX3Pro Adpt
The disk label is of type: gpt
I have the TMP disabled and I also turned off UEIF mode.
