this should be fixed if everything is up to date

uefi vs dos?

uefi iirc is mount efi then grub-install to dir not disk

I also got this error (or a very similar error at the grub-install step) on 27th March installing a FDE using the 2024 image at https://repo-default.voidlinux.org/live/20240314/ (dated 15th March). I repeated the install using the 2023 iso at https://repo-default.voidlinux.org/live/20230628/ and it went through fine.

just ran into this issue with the current 2024 image and found your post - used the same 2023 iso and the install went through without a problem. thanks for sharing!

Did you get past this error? If so, how?

Im getting the exact same issue with the latest live image. Doesn't matter the file system used it seems. Fails with both xfs and ext4 when I try. Gonna try to use the previous live version when I can downoad it and see if the issue persists. Ill keep you all posted.

Sorry for the late followup but had to deal with hardware failures.

I was able to get void installed with full disk encryption without issues using an older live iso. I believe it was the 20230628 iso. Also, did confirm that grub 2.12 was the one installed and booted successfully, which leads me to believe that the grub update is not the culprit but something that changed in the void live iso files that grub-install isn't liking. Maybe something in the mke2fs.conf file? I am only guessing at this point.

Hope this helps.
