Debian installation on recent MacBook Pro: Cannot read `/grub/core.img' correctly
Dear all, I'm struggling to install Debian Testing alongside OSX (Lion; chainloading rEFIt/grub2) on my recent MacBook Pro. rEFIt is installed and I shrunk OSX (using Bootcamp) to 200 of the 750 available gigs. Whenever I go through debian's installation process and partition the available 550g with a /boot ext2 partition directly following the 2 present OSX partitons, grub2 fails to install into that boot partition (/dev/sdb4) with the error Cannot read `/grub/core.img' correctly. I have tried MANY proposals found through google ... 1) I installed without a bootloader, resynced the MBR using rEFIt and tried to install grub via a rescue disk ... 2) I installed the core system, folloed it with the installation of gptsync, synced the MBR and tried to install grub2 ... Is there anything else I could try to get this to work? Thanks for any hints, Joh -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#641230: Can't complete installation due to warning about unencrypted swap
Package: installation-reports Image version: debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso (weekly-build, calendar week: 36, md5sum of iso: 39150c40504b2ca239ce072bf9882d0d) Boot method: USB stick (used iso image) Initial boot: [O] Detect network card:[O] Configure network: [O] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [E] Install base system:[ ] Clock/timezone setup: [ ] User/password setup:[ ] Install tasks: [ ] Install boot loader:[ ] Overall install:[ ] Comments/Problems: Installation gets started from USB-Stick (which was created by above mentioned iso-image) to a harddisk - both devices are connected via USB. The partition layout configured within the partitioner is this: http://nanl.de/debian/IMG_20110911_211158.jpg The error I get when selecting Finish partitioning and confirming the upcoming dialog by clicking Yes is this: http://nanl.de/debian/IMG_20110911_211143.jpg As a matter of fact there is no swap active, as indicated by: a) 'mount | grep swap' b) 'cat /proc/meminfo | grep SwapTotal' c) 'swapoff -a' doesn't do anything / doesn't help c) the partition layout itself (no unencrypted swap partition created) Inside the error I get presented two choices: Go Back and Continue - however both drop me back into the partitioner, so I'm not able at all to continue the installation.

Addition: When deleting the swap-LV inside the partitioner - therewith not going to create swap-space - the error does not occur and I'm able to continue and complete the installation. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
