Package: installation-reports Severity: normal Tags: d-i -- Package-specific info: Boot method: USB stick Image version: http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/images/daily/hd-media/boot.img.gz http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/i386/iso-cd/debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso both images are downloaded at 16 Oct 2010 Installation medium was prepared in following way 1. gunzip boot.img.gz and dd it in /dev/my_usb_stick 2. Mount and copy iso file I'd like to point out that documentation about booting from USB is very scarce and extensive googling is required. Also when instaler complains that no iso are found it should suggest to put iso on the flash drive. This move is highly non-obvious Date: 17 Oct 2010 Machine: Intel D510MO MB (Atom CPU is built in) + WD20EARS (2TB) Partitions: <df -Tl will do; the raw partition table is preferred> Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [O ] Detect network card: [O ] Configure network: [O ] Detect CD: [ ] There no CD drive 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: == Attempt 1. == Install goes without any problems. However after install computer is unbootable it even doesn't come to GRUB menu, just says "no bootable medium found". Still it's possible to boot from USB stick in resque mode. When I try to reinstall GRUB it fails to do so because of GPT Here is error message grub-installer: grub-setup: warn: This GPT partition label has no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible! Some googling reveals following links: * http://grub.enbug.org/BIOS_Boot_Partition * https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-base/+bug/506670 * https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/parted/+bug/107326 When GPT is used and it's silently used with 2TB+ disk GRUB require small partition so I made another attempt to install debian. == Attempt 2. == During install I created small (1MB) partition and marked is as bios_grub. GRUB installs without any errors or warnings after that but system is still unbootable. I can boot in resque mode from USB stick and run 'grub-install /dev/sda' in the shell or reinstall grub from menu no errors reported but system still fail to boot -- Please make sure that the hardware-summary log file, and any other installation logs that you think would be useful are attached to this report.

Dear submitter, these bug are tagged squeeze without any wheezy/jessie/stretch tag implying that the bug is not present in more recent Debian releases. squeeze is no longer supported. We are sorry that we couldn't deal with your issue in squeeze. If this bug was incorrectly tagged squeeze, please reopen the bug and remove the squeeze tag. cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?" Ling Tan asked suddenly out of the darkness.
