During install from DVD, installing grub-pc on the new system fails. It is possible to recover from the failure by doing the following: 1) Continue the install without a bootloader 2) At the last screen, use the Go Back option 3) Execute a shell 4) chroot /target 5) Edit /etc/apt/sources.list to uncomment the DVD line in the repo list 6) apt-get update (may not be necessary) 7) apt-get install grub (installs several dependencies and kicks off the GRUB Legacy upgrade process) 8) At the end of the grub package setup, the initrd and kernel are properly detected. 9) exit chroot10) reboot The system then boots successfully. -- Joe -- System Information:Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing')Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores)Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8)Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- Joe Thompson | j...@orion-com.com | "...I did delay long enough to check the spam filter logs and savor the From: addresses and Subject: lines he had experienced." -- unnamed sysadmin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
