Chroot into the system post the output of

Code:

fdisk -l

/dev/sda1 - 100M /boot/efi (ef00) fat32 EFI
/dev/sda2 - 137G / (8300) ext4
/dev/sdb1 - not relevant gpt (8300) ext4
/dev/sdc1 - not relevant gpt (8300) ext4

try this

Code:

mkfs.vfat -c -s1 /dev/sda1

or

Code:

mkfs.fat -c -F16 /dev/sda1

Format /dev/sda1 fs problem.

colorpurple21859 · 03-07-2022, 03:51 PM

why are you adding /dev/sda1rom free space to the command? remove "rom free space" from the command

Szeryf-jahooo · 03-08-2022, 05:44 AM

Sorry, it's only screen cache (rom free space) after partition creating.
I'm doing it via iDRAC.
mkfs.vfat -c -s1 /dev/sda1 is end of line - other tekst after is rubbish.

Before mounting any thing to /mnt post the output of

Code:

lsblk -f

See attached picture.

Is sda a dos or gpt drive? Did you check the md5sum of the iso?

Szeryf-jahooo · 03-10-2022, 05:23 PM

It's gpt.
Yes, checked iso.

I'm not familiar with IDRAC, the problem may have something to do with it based on post #20.
Otherwise I don't know what could be causing the problem.

Szeryf-jahooo · 03-13-2022, 10:27 AM

That's the point.
With ver 14.2 there is no problem.
Ver 15 is problem, maybe glibc.
Is there any solution to avoid it during installation process?

colorpurple21859 · 03-13-2022, 09:15 PM

The messages in the screenshot of post20 are the same ones I get when I run mkfs.vfat from a iso in virtualbox, however I don't get the invalid "ERROR: No EFI System Partition mounted on /boot/efi." message that you did. Maybe mounting the efi partition before chrooting will make a difference.

Code:

mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi
mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
mount --bind /run /mnt/run
chroot /mnt
eliloconfig
exit

No, it doesn't change anything.
mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1 is problem.
Already tried.
If first step is problem next steps are unpredictable - installation process failure.
In my opinion 15 is failure to clean install.
Conclusion is clear installation process has big issue, maybe bad tests before official release(like M$).
I've tried to install current some time ago, there was no error.
