Package: grub-pc
Version: 2.02~beta2-20
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I performed a fresh installation from the Jessie Beta 2 netinst CD and chose
to install grub-pc into the MBR of the only disk (MSDOS partitions) in this
system. After finishing the installation, the system was rebooted, but instead
of getting some output from grub or the grub menu, the system rebooted again,
immediately after the BIOS was done. This repeated over and over. I cannot say
whether there was any output from grub at all, because if there was, it was
gone before I could see it.

It was possible to use the installer's rescue mode to chroot into the fresh
installation and run grub-install again, which finished with no errors, but
grub would still not run and reboot instead.

Next I tried grub-rescue-pc from Jessie (2.02~beta2-19) via CD, but
the system still rebooted as soon as the CD drive spun up to load grub.

grub-rescue-pc from Wheezy (1.99-27+deb7u2) via CD works and boots Linux as
expected. Installing LILO works and boots the system as expected. I purged
LILO, installed grub-pc again and booted via Wheezy's grub-rescue-pc
before generating this report, though.

As I don't see it in the data below, I'd like to mention that this system
runs on a VIA C3 Ezra CPU (fam: 06, model: 07, stepping: 08), which doesn't
implement cmov. Might be a red herring, though.

Thanks,
Otto
