Thanks! I figured why it hangs: Last messages for normal users are: "Searching drives for an installer ISO Image" "Mounting /dev/sda4..." /dev/sda4 is an extended partition I installed Debian in expert mode to avoid that. In installed system (3.2.0-3-686-pae) "mount -t auto -o ro /dev/sda4 /mnt" also hangs. Control-C, Control-Z, kill, kill -9 and 'shutdown -h now' have no effect. Hardware reset is needed. Same happens with smaller (160 GB) disk. So this is a kernel bug. Perhaps 'file -s' could be used to test if there is a filesystem. It did not hang on my system. - jkn -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
