I've been trying (and failed) to install Debian Jessie via FAI, with both Wheezy and Jessie repositories listed in sources.list.
For some - yet unknown - reason, grub-pc installed itself, but was unable to load the (also properly created) initrd (the kernel loaded fine, but complained about "bad format" of /sbin/init). With Wheezy only, and the grub* versions locked to what Wheezy offers (1.99-27+deb7u2) the problem disappeared - but upgrading the machine manually to Jessie was a time-consuming task. I'd love to let FAI do *all* the work. Until the reason of the grub problem has been identified, I'd like to set the version for all 5 grub* packages to 1.99-27+deb7u2 explicitly (or, to cover the chance of the Wheezy package being updated again, to << 2.0) - is this possible within FAI? - S -- Steffen Grunewald * Cluster Admin * steffen.grunewald(*)aei.mpg.de MPI f.
