In T955 I changed this code to lsblk -dn -o name -I8 instead of the monstrosity it is now. I've been using that forever to detect disk in install and bootstrap scripts for Debian, and haven't ran into any problems yet. Though there might be someone out there that has more experience with it than me.

@syncer will check @kroy thanks a bunch!!

@can you do PR mentioning this ticket please
@UnicronNL can you check on fat32 issues

Okay, this should just be the EFI stuff.

@syncer Actually, my original script addressed that too. I'll integrate that change back in

@kroy no hurry
see also T967
maybe we should spend more time and address that too

@syncer Give me about an hour here to post a commit with JUST the EFI changes then, since that's what you are interested.

@kroy actually @UnicronNL already implemented hybrid iso boot that works with uefi and bios
we now need only installer which will handle installation
but by this time we already either booted via one or other, so we just do install with required support files

The short, this is a refactored installer that should be the starts for supporting EFI, as well as integrating some whiptail menus. Initially I totally rewrote it and cleaned it up, and the menu-ing was a bit more complete, but there is SOOO much going on there, that I decided to go back and just rebuild it using the existing scripts.

I see.
Compress was never enabled, because of the 'show log' command.
Theoretically, it could be done but I'm not sure if it is really needed due to it's short rotation lifetime.
For the auth log issue, I need to discuss this internally first, I recommend to create your own file with the command I mentioned above if you want to have it logged separately.
Let me know if you need help accomplishing that.

Would something like this be suitable? I've tried searching for a canonical source of device naming conventions for Linux. I'm not sure that we'll have a single clean way to identify this in regex.
