Hi folks,
I've uploaded d-i 20130211, and the relevant bits (like mini.iso and
other things) should soon be available on the mirrors, under
dists/sid/main/installer-$arch; for example:
http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/main/installer-amd64/20130211
http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/main/installer-i386/20130211
Feel free to give them a shot while I'm drafting the release announce,
and while the ftpmasters, release, and cd teams are busy. :)
Holger, I don't know if you can tweak your jenkins setup into running
tests against those text/gtk mini.iso (and maybe others?), but if you
can, I'm happy to hear about the results.
Known (&annoying) bug: grub-installer vs. several disks (that includes
installing from usb/sda onto sdb), which should be fixed by prompting
when unsure, but that's only getting into rc2 (if everything goes
well); proposed wording for an errata item is gladly welcome. AFAICT
that's been the case since at least squeeze.
Thanks for your tests, and time.
Mraw,
KiBi.

stuff. But the most recent stuff for powerpc is from November 2012.
Anybody know why?

https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=debian-installer&suite=sid
shows (at the time of writing) the build was successful but is
awaiting a buildd maintainer's signature (that used to be the case for
all archs, but most of them have autosigning now). I pinged the
relevant admins after the builds succeeded, please allow for some
hours of delay.

So I tried a proposal:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation of grub bootloader may fail if more than one disc device is
available
When there is more than one disc available during installation
(for example one harddisc and one usbstick, as it is commonly the case when
you boot the installer from a usbstick), grub-install may run into
problems: it was reported several times, that the grub bootloader was
installed onto the usbstick instead of the harddisc, where the rest of
the system was installed.
In such cases it is possible to resolve the situation like this:
boot into the rescue mode of the installer, chroot into your root filesystem,
mount any additional boot partition you may have (if you have such), and
run grub-install again.
A solution for this is already on the way (crossing fingers).

Holger Wansing <li...@wansing-online.de> (14/02/2013):
avoid running into this situation, maybe be preseeding the proper
value at a given stage of the installation. I'll try and figure that
out when testing images later today.
Thanks again.

Hi,
just read the installer errata.
<errata entry regarding grub installing to the wrong device>
The last sentence is missing a word ("next") imho:
- This issue will hopefully be fixed in the Release Candidate.
