Hi Mathieu,

I'm afraid that this machine doesn't have external access so you are not able to connect into it. Currently it's marked as "UNREPRODUCIBLE" internally as you can see in comment 10.

From my point of view, prep-bootdev (a script from grub-installer) is failing to find the PReP partition for some reason:

Jan 28 09:48:45 grub-installer: info: Wiping PReP partition
Jan 28 09:48:45 grub-installer: dd: invalid number ''

The error above is where grub-installer is finding the PReP partition number in order to wipping its content [1] so I don't believe that it's a problem with the wipe action but a little before.
