--- Begin Message ---Package: grub-pc-bin Version: 1.99-27 Severity: important File: /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/grub-install Tags: d-i Dear Maintainer, Installing Wheezy RC1 x86 on ASUS DR-TLS/Dual PIII with SCSI disks, an USB stick and a SATA HD: the installer detected the USB key as sda, the SATA HD as sdb and the first SCSI disk as system disk as sdc. / and /boot and the basic system were installed ok on sdc. install-grub tried to write to the USB stick and left the PC without usable system. Did not ask for the disk to write to. Repeated installation with USB key and SATA HD, the expert install did not allow for a shortcut. That fixed the problem. install-grub should ask for the disk where to install. -- Package-specific info: *********************** BEGIN /proc/mounts /dev/disk/by-uuid/1b3ecaf7-b33d-43c1-8b47-ed91a3cb9874 / ext4 rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,user_xattr,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/sdc2 /boot ext3 rw,relatime,errors=continue,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/sdd1 /home ext3 rw,relatime,errors=continue,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/sdb1 /media/RH087 fuseblk rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other,blksize=4096 0 0 *********************** END /proc/mounts *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/device.map (hd0) /dev/disk/by-id/usb-SanDisk_Cruzer_Blade_20054858820A2270C808-0:0 (hd1) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-Hitachi_HDS721010CLA332_JP2911HD00WSMC (hd2) /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SSEAGATE_ST373454LW_3KP48TJN (hd3) /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SFUJITSU_MAS3184NC_A0L0P34009N0 (hd4) /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-1HITACHI_HUS103073FL3600_V3VB1SBA (hd5) /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-1SEAGATE_ST3146855LW_3LN3D13T *********************** END /boot/grub/device.map *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/grub.cfg # # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE # # It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates # from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub # ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ### if [ -s $prefix/grubenv ]; then load_env fi set default="0" if [ "${prev_saved_entry}" ]; then set saved_entry="${prev_saved_entry}" save_env saved_entry set prev_saved_entry= save_env prev_saved_entry set boot_once=true fi function savedefault { if [ -z "${boot_once}" ]; then saved_entry="${chosen}" save_env saved_entry fi } function load_video { insmod vbe insmod vga insmod video_bochs insmod video_cirrus } insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='(hd2,msdos5)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 1b3ecaf7-b33d-43c1-8b47-ed91a3cb9874 if loadfont /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2 ; then set gfxmode=640x480 load_video insmod gfxterm insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='(hd2,msdos2)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root e194760e-405f-4b18-8042-d4130ebf656b set locale_dir=($root)/grub/locale set lang=de_DE insmod gettext fi terminal_output gfxterm set timeout=5 ### END /etc/grub.d/00_header ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='(hd2,msdos5)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 1b3ecaf7-b33d-43c1-8b47-ed91a3cb9874 insmod png if background_image /usr/share/images/desktop-base/joy-grub.png; then set color_normal=white/black set color_highlight=black/white else set menu_color_normal=cyan/blue set menu_color_highlight=white/blue fi ### END /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, mit Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae' --class debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { load_video insmod gzio insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='(hd2,msdos2)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root e194760e-405f-4b18-8042-d4130ebf656b echo 'Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae wird geladen …' linux /vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-686-pae root=UUID=1b3ecaf7-b33d-43c1-8b47-ed91a3cb9874 ro quiet echo 'Initiale Ramdisk wird geladen …' initrd /initrd.img-3.2.0-4-686-pae } menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, mit Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae (Wiederherstellungsmodus)' --class debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { load_video insmod gzio insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='(hd2,msdos2)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root e194760e-405f-4b18-8042-d4130ebf656b echo 'Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae wird geladen …' linux /vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-686-pae root=UUID=1b3ecaf7-b33d-43c1-8b47-ed91a3cb9874 ro single echo 'Initiale Ramdisk wird geladen …' initrd /initrd.img-3.2.0-4-686-pae } ### END /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen ### ### END /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### menuentry "Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional (on /dev/sda1)" --class windows --class os { insmod part_msdos insmod ntfs set root='(hd2,msdos1)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root FE8CBE3A8CBDED71 drivemap -s (hd0) ${root} chainloader +1 } ### END /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/40_custom ### # This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries.

--- Begin Message ---Hi, similar to the installation-reports bugs, I'm closing the grub-installer reports below. These are reports for Debian 4 / 6 / 7 / 9 where grub-installer fails (for various reasons). There have been numerous changes/improvements on this topics in the past, and also because of the age of the reports we should consider these problems as being fixed (or it is even reported in the bugs that they are fixed). They are most likely of no use anymore for recent releases. If you know, that the issue you reported (and gets closed here) is still existing in recent installation images, please file a new report for that with up-to-date details!
