Package: debian-installer
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

I did a fresh install of lenny today. I selected to use the experimental grub2 
instead of legacy grub.

After reboot I got the debian splash image in grub. Waited 5 seconds and then 
grub gave me some error message I can't remember now.

Another partition contained a Windows installation. There was an entry in the 
menu for that, but I couldn't boot into that either.

Using the grub shell I was able to boot into debian. I had to specify:

linux (hd0,5)/boot/vm... to let grub know on which partition the kernel was 
located. I guess somehow the set root command didn't work. I'm not using 
lvm.

Marked as grave since it renders my system unusable (and alot of people 
wouldn't know how to fix easily). You might want to downgrade since I did 
answer yes on the big fat warning that grub2 is experimental.
