Bug#683770: installation-reports: when installing GRUB, says it can't find another operating system
Package: installation-reports Severity: normal Tags: d-i Dear Maintainer, When I got to the GRUB installation stage of my install, I got the message: It seems that this new installation is the only operating system on this computer. But this is incorrect: Windows 7 is occupying two primary NTFS partitions, /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2. sda1 is the SYSTEM_DRV volume, and sda2 is Windows. Not sure why from reading syslog. If I mount /dev/sda2 on /mnt and run /usr/lib/os-probse/mounted/20microsoft /dev/sd2 /mnt ntfs, it prints: /dev/sda2:Windows Vista (loader):Windows1:chain I went ahead and install GRUB an the MBR, and found that /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 were both added to the GRUB menu as bootable Windows partitions (and booting them works). (Probably only /dev/sda1 should have been added because including both is redundant, but that's a detail.) I am reporting the bug from a different computer, but I don't think the hardware matters.

Care to send the syslog? Cheers, Julien signature.asc Description: Digital signature
