Description

I tried with and without internet connection, before and after an independent hard format of the disk, without changing any default configuration during the installation and I always end with the same message and error log.

As a bonus, this is the result with the systemd iso. WIth the OpenRC one I can't connect to the wifi, even though all components of my PC are listed one the h-node site.

Forgot to mention that I've been able to install another GNU/Linux-libre distro (GNU Guix) without any issue on the same machine.

there is actually two different bugs described there - the one regarding openrc may be related to this ticket #2628 - i will categorize this one as related to the installer

did you try an MBR partition table? - also, it may help if you ensure that there are no existing partitions before starting the installer - there has been problem and some work done to calamares recently - the next version may behave better

Sorry, I actually haven't specified that but it's quite important. I tried both to create manually the partition before opening the graphical installer and to simply format the entire disk with no results or difference.

unfortunately, its not worth the effort to track down bugs in that version of calamares - calamares moves quite fast; and it and the systemd ISOs are over-due for an upgraded replacement now - i could put a priority on getting the next calamares out before the next ISOs; so that can be tested - but maybe you already have successfully installed parabola now, and dont need it - were you able to get parabola installed? - there are several other ways to do it with that same LiveISO

Unfortunately, I haven't tried it again due to a very harsh time at work. I'll try again asap and I'll keep you updated, but I agree with you that upgrading calamares in the upcoming ISOs is the best way to proceed.

Thanks!
