Package: debian-installer Severity: normal Hello,
I tried installing on a machine with BIOS problems that only boots from local disk or network. I did not have network installer ready but had another live system on the local harddisk so I wrote the netinst iso hybrid image over it. I noticed a few issues installing from the harddisk: - the installer fails to locate the iso on the disk. The disk has to be manually selected to load installer modules - the iso is not unmounted prior to partitioning so partitioning step fails - the partitioning step does not wipe the disk enough so when grub instalation is attempted on the disk it refuses to install because it thinks the disk has an ISO filesystem and is a CD-ROM with readonly 2k sectors Thanks Michal -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (910, 'testing'), (900, 'stable'), (610, 'oldstable'), (410, 'unstable'), (200, 'experimental'), (150, 'precise-updates'), (150, 'precise-security'), (150, 'precise') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.9-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
