[Bug 1655679] Re: crash during installation of lubuntu, had the same problem in debian, there i was able to start a shell during installaion and add the appropriate driver for an nvme ssd

[Hennie Peters]

The driver/firmware for the latest 'nvme' solid state drives is not in the live dvd.
I have found a workaround to install lubuntu on my system:

booted from the live dvd
ran "Software Updater" from the menu
ran the installer again.

that worked for me.
Lubuntu works like a charm now!

  there i was able to start a shell during installaion and add the

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  if it is the problem i think it is.

  it can be solved like this:
  http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/280440/grub-and-lilo-both-fail-to-install-to-nvme-hard-disk-when-installing-debian

  also a root terminal option in the installer to fix the situation
  would be a great help.
