Hmmm. It looks to me that the system hangs as soon as it tries to really access your CD-drive. Maybe some module conflict with your hardware. All modules mentioned in the message above are to be expected and so that warning can be ignored. It sounds as if you are using expert mode... Do you really need to enter module parameters anywhere? If not, maybe booting with 'linux(26) debconf/priority=medium' would be easier. What I think you could try to solve the module conflict is the following: - - proceed until you get the screen asking which modules to load; - - deselect all modules you know you don't need, keeping only the ones correct for your hardware; - - check if the hanging disapears You may have to try this a few times using different modules (including generic ones). Once you have found which combination _does_ work, we would be very interested which (combination of) module(s) causes the hang... That would mean more trial and error but is needed to get a fix. I have one request for you. Could you please file a full installation-report to our Bug Tracking System including a summarry of this thread so far? That will make it easier for us to keep track of the problem. See [1] for instructions.
