Why would you ever file such a bug under qa.debian.org?

It's either some component of debian-installer that is at fault, or grub
itself.

Bug#900584: qa.debian.org: Bootlaoder fails to boot at first attempt on selection of OS

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

Burned the Install CD image sucessfully. Selected the "Install non-graphical"
option from Grub Menu. System reboots again and again presenting with Grub
menu.
Repeated the action twice/thrice to enter installation process. Installation
completed sucessfully. Installed boot loader on MBR.

Bootloader fails to boot the OS on selection, instead,  reboot the system.
Takes more than one attempt to Boot OS. On repeated selection boot is
successful.

Problem seems to originates from CD Image.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?

On selection of OS title from Grub menu, the system reboots and loads grub
again.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

On repeated attempt (more than two or more attempts/selection), boot is
sucessful

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Expect to boot in first attempt as it would happen in earlier releases.

Same behaviour is observed in Install CD image.
