Package: debian-cd
Severity: important
Hi,
installing Debian 13 testing using today's image [1] always fails at the
boot loader installation stage with the error "Failed to mount
/target/proc". After this message is shown, GRUB is left uninstalled and
it is not possible the boot the system.
Running `mount` in a shell shows that /target/proc is already mounted.
This error occurs regardless of the installation method (tested with
graphical, tui, expert install).
Choices: All default answers except:
* Language: C
* Zone: Europe/Germany
* Software selection: SSH server + standard sys utils
[1]

This was also reported in #1039710, but diagnosis is hindered by an
empty syslog which needs to be resolved first.
With kind regards,
