Package: debian-installer Severity: normal This appears to be a regression bug. I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 (circa 2008) which I previously used as a work laptop. The drive was configured as follows:
sda sda1 ext3 filesystem (for /boot) sda2 physical device for encryption (sda2_crypt) physical volume for LVM2 vg0-root (ext3) vg0-swap (ext3) vg0-home (ext3) This configuration installed quite nicely through the Debian installer menus for Squeeze. Yesterday, I pulled this laptop out of storage and attempted to wipe the installation, replacing it with a fresh Debian Wheezy configuration. The only difference in layout is that my attempt yesterday uses ext4 rather than ext3. Using this configuration with the Wheezy stable installer I downloaded yesterday, GRUB fails to install. I receive the following messages in the diagnostics console: /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: no such disk. Auto-detection of a filesystem of /dev/mapper/vg0-root failed. I then reconsidered the use case for the laptop and decided to try without the encrypted drive. Eliminating that layer (but keeping LVM2) resulted in a successful installation. Let me know if I can provide any additional info.
