Can you try a daily image?
Hi Gaudenz, I just tried with the daily image for today, and got exactly the same results :( The bug you mention happens at a much later stage (at partman-auto-lvm, my lockup happens just after localechooser), although it does sound related - Trying to mount /dev/sda1 from the console still hangs. However, the following messages in /var/log/syslog grab my attention: Aug 27 16:05:32 hw-detect: Missing modules 'pata_macio (KeyLargo ATA) Before getting to hw-detect, a request to mount any of the partitions results in: # mount /dev/sda1 /media mount: mounting /dev/sda1 on /media failed: No such file or directory # mount /dev/sda2 /media mount: mounting /dev/sda2 on /media failed: No such file or directory But once at this stage, "real" partitions mount successfully: # mount /dev/sda2 /media # But attempting to mount /dev/sda1 just hangs, without issuing any messages either to the console or to the syslog. Even attempting to kill -9 the 'mount' process fails. FWIW, the mount command that's also stalled from d-i is: mount -t auto -o ro /dev/sda1 /hd-media -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
