Package: virtualbox
Version: 4.3.18-dfsg-3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I was unable to install jesie x86-64 on a jesie host I tried three
times. (debian-8.0.0-amd64-netinst.iso)
symptom: install seems to succeed (but seems slow). after completion it fails
to boot.
seems thst GRUB is not found. I was installing base system only, or base system
and ssh
server. default settings.
a jessie image I created last year when running squeeze boots fine
and after upgrading continues to boot fine.
