Hi everyone You all reported issues with installing debian with debian-installer from usb sticks. The issue was that grub2 got installed on the mbr of the stick instead to the harddisk. But none of you sumitted a full installation log or more detailed information about your hardware.
Can you please send the output of the following commands with the usb stick inserted and without it: grub-mkdevicemap --no-floppy -m - readlink -f $(grub-mkdevicemap --no-floppy -m - | head -n1 | cut -f2) Also the installation log and hardware summary would be interesting if you still have it. It can be found in /var/log/installer Even more usefull would be if you could retry the installation using the latest beta1 images: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/squeeze_di_beta1/ Gaudenz Excerpts from Bastian Blank's message of Mit Apr 28 11:55:51 +0200 2010: > Package: grub-installer > Version: 0.50 > Severity: critical > > grub-installer managed to overwrite the bootloader on the usb stick I > used to boot the installer instead of the root device. > > Bastian > -- Ever tried.
