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.

Hi,
similar to the installation-reports bugs, I'm closing the grub-installer
reports
below.
These are reports for Debian 4 / 6 / 7 / 9 where grub-installer fails (for
various reasons).
There have been numerous changes/improvements on this topics in the past, and
also because of the age of the reports we should consider these problems as
being fixed (or it is even reported in the bugs that they are fixed).
They are most likely of no use anymore for recent releases.
If you know, that the issue you reported (and gets closed here) is still
existing in recent installation images, please file a new report for that with
up-to-date details!
Thank you for filing these bug reports, they have been very useful at the time
they were filed!
