Package: grub2-common Version: 2.02~beta2-23 Severity: important usertags: debian-b...@lists.debian.org
Doing a fresh install of Jessie netinst on factory brand new 4TB disk failed to reboot. The system completely refuses to boot after the usb key is removed. The problem, as it turns out on my system, is that nothing in the install process set the boot flag in the protected master boot record and without that, the system refuses to boot the disk. Fixing it up with parted disk_set pmbr_boot on was simple enough (after about an hour of trying to work out what the problem was), but it will appear to be an install failure to most users. Most modern motherboards will recognise a GPT label partition table and boot it regardless of the state of the protected master boot record boot flag, but for the benefit of those which don't, the debian installer should set this flag on all disks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
