Package: grub
Version: 0.97-1
Severity: serious
Tags: d-i

The main automated test machine for d-i is a proliant DL360 with a HP
Smart Array controller driven by the cciss driver. Root partition is on
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1.=20

As of this version of grub, grub-install fails

sh-3.00# /sbin/grub-install --recheck --no-floppy "(hd0)"
Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.
The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly.        =20

Whatever bios calls this new version of grub is using to read stage1
must not be working. This makes installing debian on this machine fail.
Note that an otherwise identically configured install of debian that
installs testing (and grub version 0.95+cvs20040624-19) works fine.
Indeed, I can manually downgrade grub and then it works:

Unpacking replacement grub ...                                          =20
Setting up grub (0.95+cvs20040624-19) ...          =20
sh-3.00# /sbin/grub-install --recheck --no-floppy "(hd0)"                  =
=20
Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.           =
   =20
Installation finished. No error reported.                                  =
   =20
This is the contents of the device map /boot/grub/device.map.    =20
Check if this is correct or not. If any of the lines is incorrect,      =20
fix it and re-run the script `grub-install'.
                                                                           =
   =20
(hd0)   /dev/cciss/c0d0                                        =20

The problem is 100% reproducible, and make it impossible for me
to run automated installation tests with d-i and any version of debian
containing grub 0.97-1. :-(
