Bug#659116: debian-installer: GRUB fails to be installed on machine with IDE and SATA disk
Some additional information: Yesterday I started the rescue system from the installation DVD. Using this I was able to successfully install GRUB. The new Linux system came up after the next boot. However the Windows system on the hard disk did not boot. I repeated the installation procedere. This is the error message I got on the screen: !! Install the GRUB boot loader on a hard disk GRUB installation failed The 'grub-pc' package failed to install into /target/. Without the GRUB boot loader, the installed system will not boot. The syslog file is again in the appendix. syslog.gz Description: Binary data
Bug#659116: debian-installer: GRUB fails to be installed on machine with IDE and SATA disk
Package: debian-installer Version: 20110106+squeeze4 Severity: grave Tags: d-i Justification: renders package unusable I tried to re-install Debian/Testing on the same hard disk where it had been before. I installed from DVDs that I had made (jigdo) of the snapshot on 2012/02/06. I used the expert mode of the installer. Installation failed when it came to the point where GRUB had to be installed. I got an error message like "GRUB could not be installed to /target". A subsequent boot of the machine stopped with a GRUB error message: - Stage 1.5 - Error 22 I noticed the following: My machine has 2 hard disk drives built in. One is an IDE drive, the other is a SATA drive. - The BIOS (Amibios, version 0226) says that the IDE disk is the first hard disk - Linux was installed on the IDE drive - GRUB was installed on the MBR of the IDE drive - The IDE disk was assigned to /dev/sda - The SATA disk was assigned to /dev/sdb Now during the installation process I noticed that the order of assignments was reversed: - The IDE disk was assigned to /dev/sdb - The SATA disk was assigned to /dev/sda Because I wanted the new system to reside on the same disk as before I installed it to /dev/sdb3. When the installation came to the point where GRUB had to be installed I was not asked where to install it. I *guess* that GRUB might have been installed on /dev/sda whereas the boot process still boots from the first disk (/dev/sdb) where it finds leftovers of the previous GRUB installation. -- System Information: Removed the system information because I am writing this report on a different, running system -- no debconf information syslog.gz Description: GNU Zip compressed data partman.gz Description: GNU Zip compressed data
