tik install log file

Hey there, was about to migrate one of my MicroOS Desktop installs to Aeon using the Aeon installer image.

After it had backed up the old home, installing the new system and moving the home directory back it failed with the error message:

"Command /usr/sbin/efibootmgr -o FAILED"

I am aware that Aeon does not support none EFI systems.
Might it be possible to do a EFI check before installing everything and tell the user?

The full log does confirm that EFI is not enabled. It was just my idiocy that I forgot to enable EFI on my old Laptop beforehand.

Well that’s awesome.. I’m shocked you even managed to boot the installer.. it’s built for UEFI only but I suppose some fallback stuff is doing its job better than I wanted

I guess tik will need to check first then indeed :)

Thanks for the bug report!
