My system was configured to boot from SCSI first, but GRUB was installed to the IDE drive, so the BIOS booted into the Boot record of the SCSI drive and couldn't find a startable partition anymore. Why does GRUB remove the stored information from the SCSI drives boot record but install to the IDE drive? Or did it just remove the startable flag from the windows partition? Finally got the system booting again by setting IDE drive to boot first. Still I have to finish debian installation as booting into gnome desktop will leave me up with a black screen. ...
