[Bug 1821972] Re: Installation error with Ununty Server 18.04 LTS - curthooks

[Ryan Harper]

Thanks for reporting the error.


Curtin is attempting to extract BootOrder and BootCurrent.  A non-zero return code from running efibootmgr -v is unexpected.

It's not clear to me if this is a fatal error; it doesn't appear that
way to me.    If it isn't then ideally we'll need to determine the set
of error codes that efibootmgr returns that aren't fatal to obtaining
BootOrder and BootCurrent.

It may be the case that accepting non-zero exits from the --verbose command could hint that
attempting to change BootOrder may fail.
