Hi all,
following base of the issue was found:
Basic setup/situation:
1. A computer installed with Windows 11 Pro before, UEFI boot
2. Booting from Debian 12 and running installation
3. When getting to grub-installation the error occured
Error source:
For me it looks like it tries to look into the other "registered" items in the
EFI BOOT and looks into the boot/configured devices for those somehow. As it
is not able to find the proper devices/partitions with the defined
filesystems, it errors as described.
Solution (for me):
Delete the Windows files from EFI directory.
Afterwards everything runs smoothly.
Fix Suggestion (could also be done differently for sure):
If probing for other OSs and issues found, don't stop execution and if
possible name a proper error.
Hope this helps.
