The UEFI firmware implementation on this device requires that the file \EFI\boot\bootx64.efi is present. The contents of this file do not matter - the file can be empty. The debian installer currently does not take this limitation in account. Hence, after installation of the base system and first reboot, the system won't start up. Normal users would probably give up at this point. In order to make installation of Debian on these devices a no-brainer, I suggest to add some logic to the package: When the command 'dmidecode -s system-product-name' returns 'Wyse 3040 Thin Client', run the command 'touch /boot/efi/EFI/boot/bootx64.EFI' or, alternatively, set 'grub2/force_efi_extra_removable' to 'true'. -- Package-specific info: *********************** BEGIN /proc/mounts /dev/mapper/Wyse3040--vg-root / ext4 rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 0 /dev/mmcblk0p2 /boot ext2 rw,relatime 0 0 /dev/mmcblk0p1 /boot/efi vfat rw,relatime,fmask=0077,dmask=0077,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro 0 0 *********************** END /proc/mounts *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/grub.cfg # # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE # # It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates # from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub # ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ### if [ -s $prefix/grubenv ];
