It was built 20100217-22:18; d-i 20100211. I haven't connected the network for the first time just let the installation process go from CD. The grub-pc was installed. After rebooting the system prints the a short grub message line and resets immediately. This repeats until I boot again from CD. The drive setup is as follows: Primary master: none Primary slave: hard disk Secondary master: CD-ROM drive Secondary slave: none -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
