Package: debian-installer Version: lenny Severity: normal I have a Dell SC420 with a ICH6 on-board SATA controller (sda), and a PDC20268 2-port PATA with two drives on it (hde, hdg) I installed from the business card iso on a USB flash stick. I install GRUB to the root partition (sda2) because then Windows can't get at it. This was a fresh install, and I install to sda2 (hde, hdg are my data disks). After the install, the machine was unbootable. "Unable to load operating system". Booting back into the installer (soon wishing I had the 'rescue' image on the full CD), I was able to determine with dd that GRUB had NOT been installed on any drive or partition. dd if=/dev/sda2 bs=512 count=1 showed only zero'd out bytes (this was a newly partition/filesystem). I did the install a couple more times without any more success (I saw a grub-installer error, I think it was about a device map file missing, but in my haste to get the machine up, I didn't think to write it down exactly). Removing the PDC20268 card made the install and subsequent boot work fine. Please let me know what more information you need.

Hi, similar to the installation-reports bugs, I'm closing the grub-installer reports below. These are reports for Debian 4 / 6 / 7 / 9 where grub-installer fails (for various reasons). There have been numerous changes/improvements on this topics in the past, and also because of the age of the reports we should consider these problems as being fixed (or it is even reported in the bugs that they are fixed). They are most likely of no use anymore for recent releases. If you know, that the issue you reported (and gets closed here) is still existing in recent installation images, please file a new report for that with up-to-date details! Thank you for filing these bug reports, they have been very useful at the time they were filed! https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=785149 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=489005 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=610116 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=611713 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=612420 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=621923 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=647267 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=659116 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=665856 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=666552 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=668923 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=686955 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=690515 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=690592 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=702731 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=729411 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=771467 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=780115 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=806164 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=806849 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=416986 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=252009 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=292513 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=310798 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=391489 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=489006 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=578338 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=582367 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=229128 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=463842 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=497168 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=500079 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=516392 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=520361 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=544949 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=549703 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=557242 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=580461 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=587699 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=588670 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=596877 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=612025 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=618498 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=639713 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=666559 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=699456 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=703901 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=707604 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=711330 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=609939 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=498831 Cheers Holger -- Holger Wansing <hwansing@mailbox.org> PGP-Fingerprint: 496A C6E8 1442 4B34 8508 3529 59F1 87CA 156E B076
