Package: debian-installer Version: testing Severity: important Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? I tried installing Debian using the partition layout provided in the gentoo wiki: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Root_filesystem_over_LVM2,_DM-Crypt_and_RAID * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? I went through the steps of debian-installer, configured the partitions like described above. This is the output of gdisk (its for /dev/sda , but /dev/sdb is the same) GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.2 Partition table scan: MBR: protective BSD: not present APM: not present GPT: present Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT. Disk /dev/sda: 1953525168 sectors, 931.5 GiB Logical sector size: 512 bytes Disk identifier (GUID): 853F5A88-B593-4BFC-88BC-DC825FB9BD90 Partition table holds up to 128 entries First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 1953525134 Partitions will be aligned on 2048-sector boundaries Total free space is 2014 sectors (1007.0 KiB) Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name 1 2048 4095 1024.0 KiB EF02 2 4096 585727 284.0 MiB FD00 3 585728 1953525134 931.2 GiB FD00 * What was the outcome of this action? Grub install failed with an fatal error ( http://pastebin.com/2akhkUCR ) I tried around a little bit and discovered that the boot partition wasn't mounted at /target/boot while all other partitions were mounted at there respective place in /target. Instead there was just a folder /target/grub with all the files that should have been gone to the boot partition. After moving that folder to /target/bootbak, creating /target/boot, mounting /dev/md0 (the boot partition) there, copying all files from bootbak to boot (which is probably unnecessary) debian-installers "Install Grub bootloader" worked :) So probably debian-installer missed mounting /dev/md0 to /target/boot so grub install failed. * What outcome did you expect instead? Grub should have been installed without problems / the boot partition should have been mounted at /target/boot automatically This problem occured as well with debian stable (but in a vm) and I didn't check whether the missing boot partition was the root of the problem there as well. In my "real-world" installation the error occured both, with the above described partition setup and one with msdos partitiontable. But same goes here, I didn't check whether the missing boot partitin caused the problem there as well. Furthermore /dev/md0 /boot was missing in /fstab. Instead the usb stick I installed from was in there to mount to /mnt/usb1 (or another number, can't remember). -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid (<-- I'm using testing, dont know what the sid does there, reportbug created this section..)

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
