Comments/Problems:

Installation fails when the iso is the *second* cdrom.
This test was done because of real life cases.

Here is the command line used to test the installer in QEMU

kvm -net none -boot d -cdrom /dev/cdrom -drive file=/path_to_iso/debian-7.4.0-i386-netinst.iso,index=3,media=cdrom disk.img

There is no network as it is not what is to be tested.
There are 2 optical drives: the real one and the netinst iso.
There is no disk in the real one so the boot continues with the iso.
/dev/sr0 is empty and /dev/sr1 is the netinst iso.

At some point after the base system installation, apt-setup fails:

### SYSLOG ###

Of course, this problem does not occur when the iso is /dev/sr0
At this point, we get the following message

### UI ###
[!!] Configure the package manager

apt configuration problem
An attempt to configure apt to install additional packages from the CD failed

<Go Back> <Continue>
### UI ###

Then 'in-target' process is unable to locate some packages (cf syslog):
laptop-detect, discover, installation-report, popularity-contest

Choosing <Continue> leads to grub installation failure

### UI ###
[!!] Install the GRUB bootloader on a hard disk

GRUB installation failed!
The 'grub-pc' package failed to install into /target/. Without the GRUB boot loader, the
installed system will not boot.

<Go Back> <Continue>
### UI ###

The reason is the same. syslog gives:

in-target: Unable to locate package grub-common

Of course, we can go on without grub.
Installation ends properly.
We are forced to install grub by ourselves.
This is not what a user wants.

Hope this helps,

That's installation-reports for Debian 7 with
- undefined errors
- problems which are likely to have been fixed in the meantime
- successful installation

Because of the age, there is no chance to analyse them further and therefore
they are no longer relevant or of any use for current releases:
