Package: grub-installer Version: 1.32 Severity: grave When I install Debian on computer with other operation system, and want to setup grub not on main boot section but only on Linux partition (hd0,4) to use bootmanager from other OS, If user mistakenly choose wrong partition (in my case it was (hd0,3) ) he will get error message, after it will be possible to go back to menu and try again steps, But it will be not possible to install grub at all (on right partition).
I suggest that grub-installer should detect possible Linux partitions for installing and show them to user. Or at least show partition list on page where user must enter partition number. And the best if it will also allow to reset grub partition if its not possible to install to what user enter. I am using expert install from 28.08.2008 debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso in Graphic and Text modes, tried both grub and grub2. System was successfully installed only after reboot and new install with correct (hd0,4) settings. Ubuntu also have this problem. I can try again to re-install system if it will be needed for testing. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
