hope i am not off topic, no systemd comments here, just a couple of comments on exe-jessv-2014109,110 and 112. I tried to install them in a vbox vm on a wheezy-tde13.5.13.2 host, vbox ver. 4.3.18 r96516. In all instances grub failed to install and grub rescue would only allow the ls and set commands to be executed, all other commands i tried (cat, linux etc) produced the error "no such command". Trying "do not install grub" also failed with the message "grub missing". Any hints / ideas? thanks in advance, dimitris (newbie in list)
You're right.. grub-install is failing in the installer's chroot. Most likely the chroot commands need updating for newer grub versions. The rest of the install seems OK.
In the meantime: You will need to boot the installation from another grub and fix it manually. There is a "Grub rescue menu" entry on the actual live image which should be able to detect and boot it.
Then in a root terminal (asssuming you want it on mbr):
grub-install /dev/sda update-grub
Will post back later when it's fixed and a new iso done. Thanks to those who tested this (yes, Jessie is still "Debian Testing!)
