Please reopen the bug if it's not fixed on your > hardware. I' sorry, but the problem still remains. I tested with and usb installation using http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/amd64/daily/hd-media/boot.img.gz (dated 02-Dec-2010 00:22) and http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/amd64/iso-cd/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso (dated 01-Dec-2010 03:01) I also looked ant the iso image, it does contain grub-installer_1.57, however, grub is still installed on my usb-stick (/dev/sda) not on the hard disk (which is now /dev/sdd; it seems the linux kernel now also sees the real hard drives, not the hardware raid). I saved the contents of /var/log/installer after the installation, but need to recover mu original system for now to do some work. I can put them online in couple of minutes. If there's anything I can do to help / you need to know, please let me know. Best Regards, Alexander PS: Thinking about it... severity serious might be to high, as only certain systems seem to be affected; at least I couldn't reproduce the problem with on other system.
