Base System Installation Checklist:
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it

Initial boot: [O]
Detect network card: [E]
Configure network: [O]
Detect CD: [O]
Load installer modules: [O]
Detect hard drives: [O]
Partition hard drives: [O]
Install base system: [O]
Clock/timezone setup: [O]
User/password setup: [O]

Install boot loader: [E]
Overall install: [O]

Comments/Problems:
The error on Detect network card is Bug #683849. After workaround the
instalation proceeds until installing GRUB. It does not detect Windows 7.
The problem is grub-mount requires fuse kernel support but the module is
not available. I did "insmod
/target/lib/modules/3.2.0-3-amd64/kernel/fs/fuse/fuse.ko". Retried the
bootloader install and it detected Windows 7. The instalation then
finished successfully.
When booting the screen was garbled with random pixels. To solve this I
add to append radeon.modeset=0 to the kernel line in grub, as found in

That's very interesting information as it seems we have several
reports of Win7 not being detected if I'm correct.

Can you confirm that loading the fuse module *during the install
process before the boot loader setup* was enough for W7 to be
detected?

If so, we would really need to do it but we can't do it the way you
did of course-->we'd need the fuse module in the installer's kernel.

The first time the boot loader setup run it did not find W7. I went back
several times and retried the setup. The same. Then I lookup up the
installation scripts and one of them (don't remember now which one)
called grub-mount. I invoked grub-mount on the command line and got the
error "fuse not available" or something like that. I tried to insmod
fuse but the module was not found. Then I installed the fuse module from
the "target" dir. Retried the boot loader setup and W7 was now found.

If it helps I can reinstall wheezy from scratch. Just Let me know which
information I should collect.

clone 686314 -1
reassign -1 linux
retitle -1 Please add the fuse module to d-i kernel packages
thanks

No, that's not needed. Your information seems enough to confirm that
we need the fuse module in the installer kernel and have it loaded in
os-prober prior to OS tests. Thanks for your help.

I'm therefore cloning this bug so that kernel maintainers add the fuse
module to installer kernel packages and we modify os-prober (probably
os-probes/common/50mounted-tests) to load this module beforecalling
grub-mount (not sure about the latter).
