Huh, thought I fixed that, guess that needs another once over when
I've rejiggered our live-build. there's something weird minimal
requirement WRT fontconfigs and/or fonts in the initrd.

from the error you posted on irc I'd say that's a cala problem in some
form or fashion. the sfdisk calls have been a problem since forever.
best try to reproduce and file a bug. in my experience this happens a
lot iff a previous system was installed. it's entirely timing
depending though, well, the issue I debugged last year anyway was.

haven't bothered with oem yet, I'm pretty sure it just needs some new
bespoke cala modules run though

best file a bug against cala I guess.
