[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#787481: virtualbox: can't install jessie on jessie

[Gianfranco Costamagna]

Control: tags -1 unreproducible
thanks

Hi Jasen,

I tried but I can't reproduce:

what I tried:

start from ubuntu vivid,
install jessie 8.0 amd64,
install virtualbox (headers and so on)
install virtualbox guest additions (from vbox menu)

open virtualbox inside jessie
install jessie (32 bit, virtualbox refuses in my hw to run 64 bit on 64 bit virtualized environment)


jessie installed and runs correctly.

it was a text only installation, due to the "inception" of virtualization.


cheers,

Gianfranco

Dear Maintainer,

I was unable to install jesie x86-64 on a jesie host I tried three
times.  (debian-8.0.0-amd64-netinst.iso)

symptom: install seems to succeed (but seems slow). after completion it fails to boot.
seems thst GRUB is not found. I was installing base system only, or base system and ssh 
server.  default settings.

a jessie image I created last year when running squeeze boots fine
and after upgrading continues to boot fine.
