Package: installation-reports Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
[ I'm reporting the problem on behalf of my friend. ] Tried 6.0.5 CD1 and the current testing snapshot (August 20). There were two hard drives (/dev/sda and /dev/sdb), Debian was installed to the logical partition of the second drive (something like /dev/sdb6), everything (except swap) was installed to a single partition. Everything was fine on the installation stage, but after the reboot the user was greeted with the Grub command line, i.e. boot failed. Apparently because the Grub was installed to the /dev/sda unconditionally. After we managed to install (manually, using the rescue disk) Grub to the MBR of second hard drive (i.e. 'grub-install /dev/sdb'), boot succeeded. This is unfortunate. I wonder if we did something wrong or installer should have some more code for handling multi-disk installations. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fi_FI.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
