The problem with the DVD, CD and netinst images arises because they attempt to mount an extended partition on the hard disk. There is (we think) a kernel bug which results in the mount command hanging. The mini.iso boots differently from these images. If you look at 'more /var/log/syslog' you will see it has no knowledge of the hard disks. This means mountmedia has no extended partitions to try. Which means the bug is avoided. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
