Thanks for your report.

Can you please attach the installer's syslog, which might have some clue?

You'll find it under the /var/log/installer directory.

Please find attached the file syslog from /var/log/installer.

Thanks!

This looks weird:
Jun 20 18:33:58 grub-installer: info: Installing grub on ''

Are you sure you selected the /dev/sdc entry when you were prompted where
to install grub, and not the default “Enter manually” which comes with an
empty string by default?

I did the installation once again and had got the same problem. I downloaded the iso from another location:
http://debian.netcologne.de/debian-cd/9.0.0/amd64/iso-cd/debian-9.0.0-amd64-xfce-CD-1.iso
I took another USB-stick than before for installation. During installation this USB-stick was /dev/sdc and the debian system was /dev/sdb .
I selected /dev/sdb for grub install.
When rebooted grub came with this error message:
"error: file '/boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod' not found.
 Entering rescue mode...
 grub rescue> "

I solved the problem the same way as before.

Best regards

Rolf
