As an update, the problem remains on the latest iso image for testing amd64 (August 22nd, 2011 DVD-1). This time I tried it on a different system (a Linux Certified Inc. LC2131 laptop) and it failed with the same error. Once again the logs are not present (I searched for them from a shell given to me by the Debian Installer) and system is unbootable... This is the only way I can install Debian on this new laptop! because it has a new SSD drive that partman-md from Squeeze can't handle and the installation fails too... I'm trying on of those Debian squeeze + kernel from backports iso image to see if I can get a working system and then upgrade from there -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I've found the bug 635400, which was not merged with this older one. It seems it was fixed on Debconf11. For me it is enough to uncomment "deb cdrom..." in /target/etc/apt/sources.list (without make a symlink scd0) in order the installation can continue, but I can't get more than standard software in tasksel.

Oh, I couldn't even think vbox may affect the installation process such a way. And I hit install, and then just enter-enter-... Only the network remains not configured. >> How to reproduce this?

So the weekly-builds from 08 and from now (15 august, just tested) can't be installed. It goes wrong still from the same point. Instead of choice of desktop/file-,mail-,..server/laptop, one see only standard software and then unable to install grub-pc to target (syslog attached). Is there any log of the fixing this issue from Debconf11? Regards, Andrey syslog.gz Description: GNU Zip compressed data

Hi! Sorry I've discovered this bug report only recently. I'm dealing with this failure since about 4-5 months. And I'm wondering what is the purpose of weekly generated DVD-images when the distribution can't be installed from them during the last 4-5 months? How to reproduce this? It would be enough straightforward to install that what has been generated on DVD-1 weekly image. I'm doing it every week under VirtualBox. The saved logs (from integrated WEB server) are attached. Hope it could help to find out what's going wrong here. Or please point me to the discussion on the structure of DVD-1 image (debian-installer - tasksel - pkgsel ...).

Bug#629695: debian-installer: fails to install bootloader due to package dependences inconsistency
Hi again, This bug (#632025) is probably connected to #629695. Maybe we should merge them ?
