So I rebuilt d-i images with this commit reverted and then rebuilt my ISO image with the new d-i images, and the problem is gone. Thanks for your help! I double checked that the current Debian weekly build boots fine, in other word this change works well with grub 2, but not with grub 1.99.

So looking further into d-i changes related to this, I found this: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=d-i/debian-installer.git;a=commitdiff;h=81109010691ee0fc9357bd10be8fe116b9bb9f84 And the debian-installer images we generated thus have this change too. Is it possible that this change works with grub 2.0 but not 1.99 of wheezy? /me feels that I'm getting closer to the root of the problem Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog ◈ Debian Developer Discover the Debian Administrator's Handbook: → http://debian-handbook.info/get/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-cd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Possibly, but where is that search path defined?

I'd be worried about grub changes here. What happens if you use > the Debian grub package instead? We use the Debian grub package unchanged. What changed here is that we have rebuilt debian-installer images which picked those supplementary modules.
