Not sure I understand, during installation selected SSD as / (was
/dev/sdc) and selected that device to install grub. There was not an
error
and installation reported success but on reboot no bootable media/disk
found. Tried again using BIOS facility to choose correct disk but no
joy. Loaded live cd and chrooted into debian installation and ran
grub-install to SSD again. Grub-install reported success but on
reboot no bootable disk again. So repeated live cd, chroot and ran
grub-install /dev/sda (/dev/sda was western digital standard
harddisk). This was 9 months ago so whether still an issue I do not
know. I assumed at that time grub maybe had an issue with SSDs.
This looks more like BIOS not considering booting from SSD at all. Some
BIOSes ignore the disks unless at least one partition is active. You may
need to use fdisk to mark a partition active.
SSD info:
Disk /dev/sda: 64.0 GB, 64023257088 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7783 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x000d1984
If you want I can try to install grub to the SSD again. Be a couple of
days time.
