When I install into a UEFI enabled computer it installs normally but when I reboot the machine, I get a blank page that says "error symbol 'grub_verify_string' not found entering rescue mode". In case you weren't aware I installed devuan chimaera the same way I installed devuan beowulf.

@fsmithred any suggestions

ok so i tried burning the iso with xfburn but ran into issues and i think it was the dvd blank so im not going to try it out anymore. burning the iso to a USB drive worked and installed fine and i have been using it for a few days but im switching to beowulf because i really want the security updates. if you need me to test out the rc releases and final, ill be here.

another question for the devuan community, If i want to burn the beta2 iso to a dvd-r what package do I need to download and what command do i use to burn the iso to the dvd. I will like to test the iso to boot from a dvd to rule out any issue for future devuaners.

ok so I downloaded beta2 iso 64bit and it works, trying it out on bare metal. Will use it as a daily driver and i'll report back if i find any issues. I do warn you I don't dual boot with any other Oses, I also only have a uefi partition and a swap partition. Thanks fsmithred for another live iso.

no i used dd to put the iso on usb ie "sudo dd=devuan.iso of=/dev/sdx bs=4M && sync" and then i rebooted and then stumbled upon the issue.
