Installation • Re: GRUB os-prober seems to hang during install

Hello,

I'm not sure if the installer "hangs" because of the os-prober script, even if it is the last output on the screen.

During the Debian Installer process, the os-prober script is installed/started on behalf of the grub-installer (which is responsible for installing grub2).

Therefore, I assume that your Debian installation is almost complete, except for the grub2 boot loader.

So you can use the Debian Installer to:

• boot in "rescue mode" (menu "Advanced" > menu "Rescue mode")

• select the root partition (activating the chroot)

• open a shell (character console) in the root partition

• install grub2 manually (from the command line of the shell)

This should also give you more control when installing grub2, also for troubleshooting purposes.

If your computer boots with UEFI enabled, here you can find here general instructions:

• GrubEFIReinstall

Hope this helps.
