Installation Failed #379

Description

@FrankVan1982

Issue Description

Good day. I have been attempting to install VanillaOS Orchid on my Lenovo IdeaPad 500S-13ISK for approximately one week.
However, my initial attempts were unsuccessful.

1st attempt: The installer displayed an error message indicating a 'partition error'.
2nd attempt: Despite the successful download of all the necessary files, the installer encountered an error at step 1 of 13 (postinstall operations).
3rd attempt: The file download process failed, but the installer did not encounter any issues.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. I created a bootable USB with Rufus on a Windows 11 system.
  2. I booted from the USB stick
  3. I continued with the installer procedures.

On what version of Vanilla OS this happens?

Vanilla OS 2 Orchid

Additional Information

My disk partitions (HDD):

/dev/sda1 - /boot/efi (953MB)
/dev/sda4 - Microsoft Reserved Partition (16MB)
/dev/sda2 - /boot (900MB)
/dev/sda3 - vos-root (25.4GB / lvm2-pv)
/dev/sda6 - vos-var (207.31GB /var ext4)
/dev/sda7 - swap (4GB)
/dev/sda4 - Windows system partition (227.33GB)

Another question: Why are the /boot and /boot/efi partitions separate?
