<pre cols="72">I usually try to upgrade my systems when a beta is announced, and other than some glitches of past installs, it usually goes well.
And I always do a fresh install, never an upgrade. (shudder)
Anyway, I went to install 21.04 and it totally failed.
Installed from a USB and at the end it said it had a failure installing grub. I have an HDD and an m2 disk. Tried both, and got a failure note.
However the system did boot and I figured out later that it was the efi portion of grub-install that failed... yet there was NO indication of that, so others
might have totally scapped the install at that point.
So I continued with the install since I don't use the efi anyway and that problem is most like a problem with my efi setup.
But installing other packages, I continually got a message to "please mount CDROM <lots of info> into /media/cdrom and the pkg install would stop. Could
not get past that point.
So I built a cdrom install disk figuring that might work. Nope, got the same message after the install trying to install pkgs such as postfix or libdvd-pkg
So this is the first time I have totally struck out on a beta install.
