Bug#712907: grub-installer: No longer installs automatically on a normal machine with one hard drive



Package:  grub-installer
Version:  1.86
Severity: important
User:     debian-edu@lists.debian.org
Usertags: debian-edu

We discovered this in Debian Edu based on testing using d-i udebs from
unstable.  See
<URL: http://jenkins.debian.net/view/edu/job/g-i-installation_debian-edu_jessie_standalone/ >
for a automatic test of such installation.

The change introduced in version 1.86 added a new question in Debian
Installer, causing the installation to hang at the end asking where to
install grub.  This used to work automatically, but now require people
to fill in a value, and [enter] do not work.

Please make sure the default value for this question is the same as
grub-installer used earlier, and lower the severity to to one that do
not show up in the normal case.

I'm attaching a screen shot from the installer.
