It seems to me that base-installer hangs when it cannot find an arch_kernel kernel. My install on a new MIPS system stopped at 86% "Selecting the kernel to install...". Looking briefly at the code, get_arch_kernel() seems to return an empty value if it doesn't know the sub-arch. It later uses that in a grep:
arch_kernel=$(get_arch_kernel) ... kernels=`grep $arch_kernel $KERNEL_LIST | sort -r | tr '\n' ',' | sed -e 's/,$//'` -- Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
