Hello, I did the tests, you asked me for. This time I'll attach some pictures, as pictures say more than thousand words ... Rebooting from debian after a grub-install/update-grub, situation is shown by picture grub01.png This time I waited more than 10 minutes, so it might be stated, that grub isn't busy, but crashed.

No. after removing controller, grub shows less than with controller (picture grub02.png). > Does it suffice to remove the disks from that controller? There's no difference, removing just the cables from the controller or removing the controller completely (grub02.png). Remember: there's no system drive attached to the external controller and in between I wiped out every MBR except the one from the drive, that should be booted from. > Is there anything else you can do with the hardware or the BIOS to make it > bootable again? I don't know what. BIOS boot order is checked, order of bootable harddisks from BIOS is checked too, the drive, that should be booted from is attached to the first Mainboard SATA-port ... So I have no idea, what to change from HW. > >> Ok, that's great!

The easiest way is probably to unplug the > network cable during installation. Seems like 6.0.0 disk images have been removed from mirrors too. As I normally use netinst-CDs only, I can't do that tests. Sorry. kind regards Gero
