Package: debian-installer
Version: 20090123
When installing Lenny on a HP DL360 / DL380 server Grub is installed on the wrong device.
The server is booted from CD, during network detection, the bnx2 firmware is required. A USB key is inserted to provide the firmware. The disks are then partitioned and the install proceeds, grub is installed on the master boot record. On reboot with the USB stick still connected, GRUB loads and the os is booted from the internal disks. Without the USB drive, the OS refuses to boot.
The internal disks are presented as /dev/cciss/c0d0 devices, the USB drive is presented as /dev/sda.
Running grub-install to the /dev/cciss/c0d0 device after install resolves the problem but the installer appears to be picking the wrong device when grub is installed 

Regards

Rob Fulton

This bug reports about grub beeing installed on the wrong device
while an additional usb storage device was plugged in.

As in the actual installer the device naming via UUID is the default
and so the identification of the disc to install grub on is clear
and no more error-prone, this bug is fixed.

I close this bug.

Thanks
Holger
