I had difficulties installing Debian Lenny using the netinstall disk
today.
I was installing Debian Lenny 5.0 on an older Server with a Supermicro
Motherboard and an Adaptec 2400A RAID Controller (2 PATA Drives in RAID
1 Configuration) . Install failed when it reached the point where it
should have installed grub on the MBR of the drive. all other steps
seemed to completed successfully.
I got the system to boot into the installed Debian system using the
supergrub boot disk and then had to actually install grub on the system.
aptitude update
aptitude install grub
grub-install /dev/i2o/hda
update-grub
after that was done and I rebooted, the system booted fine and
everything was working. What I can't figure out is why grub was never
installed on the system during the netinstall ? I re-ran the install 3
times, and had the same result each time.
So what package would I file the bug report against ? I mean it wasn't
technically a failure of grub, since grub never got installed, but why
didn't grub get installed during setup ? Would this get submitted to the
d-i team ?
Thanks for your direction in this matter.
