-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
I recently installed Debian on a QNAP TS-209 (armel). There were very long delays, up to a few minutes, between some d-i screens, especially in partman (see the original thread on debian-arm [1]). I believe this was with the squeeze alpha1 version of d-i [2], or possibly a snapshot. In any case it was suffering from #585733 and couldn't create any ext4 partitions, so I restarted with the lenny installer instead. This did not suffer from the long delays. The setup was two 2 TB SATA drives, with LVM on top of md RAID1. The long pauses occurred for example when: *entering the RAID manager, *after configuring a partition (mount point, file system etc) and returning to the main partman screen, *after confirming the partitioning setup, before the progress bar when it creates the file systems. Is this anything I should investigate more? Since I have now succeeded in installing the machine, I am reluctant to reflash it with d-i again unless it is really worthwhile.
