Description Lewis Smith 2018-12-06 16:21:00 CET

Description of problem:
Real EFI hardware
At the end of the installation, I opted for immediate updates - which included a kernel. I *think* this happens after Grub installation. Re-booting the installed system fell on the Grub prompt. Booting another system, chroot'ing to the baulked one, doing # update-grub , and when all that was done, re-booting back into the new system then worked. But we cannot expect users to do this - it is quite complicated.
I conclude (but may be wrong) that Grub was not re-made for the new kernel update at the end of installation. It should be. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
M7beta1 Classic x64 ISO of 4 Dec 2018.

How reproducible:
Don't know - it would take too long to find out.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install the ISO as far as it offering on-line media (yes), then updates.
2. Accept the updates. IF these include a kernel...
3. Re-boot the end result.

@Marja: your wish is my command!

In /root/drakx/
# ls -l report.bug.xz

I have updated the system since I got into it - in case that matters.

Since this goes back to M7, and has not been complained about since, closing this.
