Deploying D4IoT Sensor to ThinkEdge SE40 - No Root Filesystem
In case somebody else runs in to this problem I managed to find a solution in the end.
Basically, the problem is that when you boot from the installation USB media, it names the installation media sda and the internal harddrive sdb in /dev. This properly wouldn’t be the case if you installed from an optical media like AdiWeisberg suggested – but I didn't have access to one and I must admit it's a decade since i've used an optical disk for installation.
So the seed files for autopartitioning only looks for sda and not sdb.
So, by changing line 6 in the seed file corresponding to the solution you want to install (in my case the 100 GB solution, named: preseed/laptop-storage-layout.seed) from /dev/sda to /dev/sdb it installs fine.Edit:
Line 107 in preseed/general.seed should be corrected from /dev/sda to /dev/sdb as well. Else it will install the bootsector on the installation media instead of the installation drive. So when you remove the installation media it won't boot as i just figured out 😉
Hope this can help somebody else.
MicrosoftPlease elaborate on what are you trying to install and which documentation are you using for the installation. based on your reply we can assist better.

Hi AdiWeisberg,
Thank you for your reply.
I'm trying to install the OT Sensor to a ThinkEdge SE40 with these instructions: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/defender-for-iot/organizations/how-to-install-software?tabs=sensor
I've attached log from failed installation as well.
- AdiWeisbergThanks. no need to run CLI commands or change partition during the installation, but following the step-by-step instructions in the docs. Are you using "office" architecture on step 2?

Yes and I also tried the smaller architectures and even the bigger ones.
It works fine when I install it in a VM.
