That should fix it. I noticed it was installed just on one disk too... but I'm definitively not an expert, infact one of the things I tried to fix this was: grub-install /dev/sda grub-install /dev/sdb but I noticed the grub-pc/install_devices didn't change. I'm reasonably sure that during installation I chose both but it happened several month ago, so I won't bet on it... and I admit I started to be too confident in how smoothly sid behave recently ;) dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc did the trick and now I can see both dev in grub-pc/install_devices I upgraded, rebooted and now everything is fine Unfortunately I can't roll back time to confirm that I actually chose both at install time. If there is any bug actually it should be related to older versions/install and people should not be affected in the future. thanks -- Ivan Sergio Borgonovo http://www.webthatworks.it -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
