Package: grub-pc-bin
Version: 1.99-27
Severity: important
File: /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/grub-install
Tags: d-i

Dear Maintainer,

Installing Wheezy RC1 x86 on ASUS DR-TLS/Dual PIII with SCSI disks, an USB 
stick and a SATA HD: the installer detected the USB key as sda, the SATA HD 
as sdb and the first SCSI disk as system disk as sdc. / and /boot and the 
basic system were installed ok on sdc. 

install-grub tried to write to the USB stick and left the PC without usable 
system. Did not ask for the disk to write to. 

Repeated installation with USB key and SATA HD, the expert install did not 
allow for a shortcut. That fixed the problem. 

install-grub should ask for the disk where to install.

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!
