Package: installation-reports Boot method: CD Image version: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/wheezy_di_beta2/amd64/jigdo-cd/ Date: 17 Sep 2012 Machine: <Description of machine (eg, IBM Thinkpad R32)> Processor: Memory: Partitions: <df -Tl will do; the raw partition table is preferred> Output of lspci -knn (or lspci -nn): Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [E] Detect network card: [O] Configure network: [O] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [O] Install base system: [O] Clock/timezone setup: [O] User/password setup: [O] Install tasks: [O] Install boot loader: [E] Overall install: [E] Comments/Problems: I tried to install Wheezy on an amd64 system with Windows 7 already installed at the beginning of the hard disk. Installation was completed, without any errors. But after restart grub froze half way (before listing the operating systems), and none of the operating systems (win7 and Debian Wheezy) were usable. Using a "trial and error" approach, I found a work-around to the problem: * Partition the disk and create the partitions used by Debian at the beginning of the disk. (Probably /boot is enough) * Install Windows7 (not at the beginning of the disk) * Install Debian. -- Eliad Bagherzadegan

Hi, thank you for submitting installation reports, much appreciated. I read through all the bugs mentioned here (and I'm sure they were read by several people at the time they were submitted) and am closing them now as/if - they (finally) indicated success and/or - I know from first hand experience that the functionality is working in Wheezy and/or - they only contained very little information and/or - they contained user errors and/or - they were caused by broken hardware and/or - they have been from a development phase where things were not stable and/or - they are quite old (and thus likely fixed today) and/or - moreinfo was asked and not given or - they are wishlist but rather special + exotic and not have been acted on for years. (See http://blog.liw.fi/posts/wishlist-bugs/ why it's often useful to close wishlist bugs.) If I've closed a bug incorrectly please do reply (it's easy to reopen and I'll do if requested) or just file a new one - thats often better, as the bug log will be clearer and shorter and not contain cruft. cheers, HolgerAttachment: signature.asc
