Is this with the actual dvd or the image of the 1st DVD on a usb-stick? I assume once everything was installed and rebooted there was an upgrade to the latest Jessie which I am pretty sure incorporated a new version of grub-xxx and updates the grub.cfg based on the current state of that boot. During the installation it asks you to select and confirm where you want grub installed, but when it is upgraded as a package it bases its installation on previous options, except it reviews that the installed systems on partitions are actually there. > Does any of this justify a bug report.

If your bug reporting is functional, go ahead it is FREE! :) I am saying this because it only works with the appropriate network/mail setup that Debian dictates. -- "The most violent element in society is ignorance" rEG "Who died and made you the superuser?"
