Does the install of grub-pc succeed on the cubietruck, or is skipped for some other reason that doesn't require us to intervene? Thanks, Roger.

The difference I can see is that, on the cubietruck, there's an extra step. And it's due to this extra logging: debconf: --> METAGET debian-installer/flash-kernel-installer/title Description debconf: <-- 0 Make the system bootable On the cubietruck, there would be these installation step: ..., Select and install software, Make the system bootable, Install the GRUB boot loader, ... But on the arndale, it would be instead: ..., Select and install software, Install the GRUB boot loader, ... Somehow, flash-kernel-installer does something different on both machine. Thanks,

grub-installer on arndale-* machine fails with Debian Bookworm. It tries to install "grub-pc" which doesn't exist. Skip installation. Somehow, cubietruck-* installation works fine.
