--- Begin Message ---Package: debian-installer Version: 20110106+squeeze4 Severity: grave Tags: d-i Justification: renders package unusable I tried to re-install Debian/Testing on the same hard disk where it had been before. I installed from DVDs that I had made (jigdo) of the snapshot on 2012/02/06. I used the expert mode of the installer. Installation failed when it came to the point where GRUB had to be installed. I got an error message like "GRUB could not be installed to /target". A subsequent boot of the machine stopped with a GRUB error message: - Stage 1.5 - Error 22 I noticed the following: My machine has 2 hard disk drives built in. One is an IDE drive, the other is a SATA drive. - The BIOS (Amibios, version 0226) says that the IDE disk is the first hard disk - Linux was installed on the IDE drive - GRUB was installed on the MBR of the IDE drive - The IDE disk was assigned to /dev/sda - The SATA disk was assigned to /dev/sdb Now during the installation process I noticed that the order of assignments was reversed: - The IDE disk was assigned to /dev/sdb - The SATA disk was assigned to /dev/sda Because I wanted the new system to reside on the same disk as before I installed it to /dev/sdb3. When the installation came to the point where GRUB had to be installed I was not asked where to install it. I *guess* that GRUB might have been installed on /dev/sda whereas the boot process still boots from the first disk (/dev/sdb) where it finds leftovers of the previous GRUB installation. -- System Information: Removed the system information because I am writing this report on a different, running system -- no debconf informationsyslog.gz

--- 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! Thank you for filing these bug reports, they have been very useful at the time they were filed! https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=785149 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=489005 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=610116 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=611713 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=612420 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=621923 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=647267 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=659116 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=665856 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=666552 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=668923 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=686955 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=690515 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=690592 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=702731 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=729411 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=771467 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=780115 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=806164 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=806849 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=416986 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=252009 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=292513 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=310798 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=391489 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=489006 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=578338 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=582367 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=229128 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=463842 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=497168 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=500079 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=516392 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=520361 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=544949 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=549703 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=557242 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=580461 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=587699 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=588670 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=596877 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=612025 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=618498 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=639713 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=666559 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=699456 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=703901 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=707604 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=711330 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=609939 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=498831 Cheers Holger -- Holger Wansing <hwans...@mailbox.org> PGP-Fingerprint: 496A C6E8 1442 4B34 8508 3529 59F1 87CA 156E B076
