Comments/Problems:
After presumably installing grub in the MBR and rebooting, the screen
became almost unreadable, and after a few messages the boot process
stopped. I was able to boot into the system using a grub floppy and
then the rest of the installation seem to run OK. After the
installation was finished, I ran grub-install manually and rebooted
from the hard disk. I had the same problem. Then I rebooted from the
grub floppy into my old redHat 7.2. I checked the boot partition,
shared between both systems and the grub configuration file grub.conf
was left unmodified. After I added the new kernel and root partition I
was able to boot into debian from the HD. I tried once again to
grub-install and again my system became unbootable from the HD. Thus,
I finally booted from the floppy into RedHat, grub-install'ed and
verified that both Debian and RedHat remained bootable from the HD. It
worries me that I plan on removing RedHat, but I run the risk of
leaving my machine unbootable from the HD if I try to reinstall
Debian.

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful
The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet.
In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.
You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.
If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.
Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
