Package: debian-installer Version: 20141002 Severity: important Tags: d-i Dear Maintainer,
installing Debian jessie with weekly snapshot netinst ISO image http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/amd64/iso-cd/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso on an x86_64 Server with lots of SCSI devices as of 2014-10-29 makes grub-installer croak. Debugging reveals that it stumbles across SCSI devices /dev/sda[a-z] being present. Patching it as follows (manually from a separate console in the install system) makes the installtion proceed without problem: >From 4d91c83577a4dbe8c52271bbd157b450b8c7edf3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Weiser <m.wei...@science-computing.de> Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2014 11:36:10 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Allow for devices such as /dev/sdaa --- grub-installer | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/grub-installer b/grub-installer index 2b61fb6..5bceec6 100755 --- a/grub-installer +++ b/grub-installer @@ -252,7 +252,7 @@ case $prefix in /dev/mapper) disc_offered_devfs="$bootfs" ;; - /dev/[hsv]d[a-z0-9]|/dev/xvd[a-z]|/dev/cciss/c[0-9]d[0-9]*|/dev/ida/c[0-9]d[0-9]*|/dev/rs/c[0-9]d[0-9]*|/dev/mmcblk[0-9]|/dev/ad[0-9]*|/dev/da[0-9]*) + /dev/[hsv]d[a-z0-9][a-z0-9]|/dev/xvd[a-z]|/dev/cciss/c[0-9]d[0-9]*|/dev/ida/c[0-9]d[0-9]*|/dev/rs/c[0-9]d[0-9]*|/dev/mmcblk[0-9]|/dev/ad[0-9]*|/dev/da[0-9]*) disc_offered_devfs="$prefix" ;; *) -- 2.1.1 -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16-3-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- no debconf information -- Vorstandsvorsitzender/Chairman of the board of management: Gerd-Lothar Leonhart Vorstand/Board of Management: Dr. Bernd Finkbeiner, Michael Heinrichs, Dr. Arno Steitz Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrats/ Chairman of the Supervisory Board: Philippe Miltin Sitz/Registered Office: Tuebingen Registergericht/Registration Court: Stuttgart Registernummer/Commercial Register No.: HRB 382196 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
