I noticed a difference between a alpha1 and alpha2 install on the Thinkpad:
in alpha1 I get the message that the new Debian seems to be the only OS
on the machine. However, on alpha2 install I did not get that message.

But I see no relevant changing in os-prober between alpha1 and 2 which
would explain that ...

I wonder if it's a kernel issue somehow?
