Hmm, this is getting annoying:
while doing several test installs, I thought I had a path how to reproduce
the issue, but then suddenly it looked completely different than before.
So, that's something between "some portion of coincidence involved" and
"wow, not it looks like a hardware failure".
And since I was never able to reproduce the issue on amd64, it seems at
least to be a i386-only issue, and thus could be considered as a corner
case...
Therefore reducing severity to normal and tagging as unreproducible
+ renaming to include the exact error message:
"Configuring 'grub-installer' failed with error code 134"
(leaving this bug open for a while, other people with the same problem may
find it, and probably shade some light on it.)
