Package: grub
Version: 0.97-28
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i
To reproduce this hang:
qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso -hda disk -boot d
Go through the install process to the grub install stage (I choose the
partition layout with separate /boot and /home, but I doubt it matters).
It will hang on 'grub-install (hd0)', apparently forever (I've waited up
to 4 hours for it IIRC). This is at the point where grub-install says
"Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.".
I have seen the hang when running qemu on 2 amd64 host systems:
Linux hydra 2.6.20-1-amd64 #1 SMP Tue Apr 24 21:10:58 UTC 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Linux bluebird 2.6.16.29-xen #3 SMP Sun Oct 15 13:15:34 BST 2006 86_64 GNU/Linux
As well as on my laptop:
Linux kodama 2.6.20-1-686 #1 SMP Tue Apr 24 21:52:11 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
I am not using kqemu on the amd64s (seems to be unstable). I'm using
qemu version 0.9.0-[12]. I also was able to try kvm on hydra, and I do
not see the problem there.
I don't know if this is a qemu, kernel, or grub problem, really.
However, is seems similar to hangs in the same place that users
occasionally report when installing to real hardware.
