I'm afraid I have no clue why it would hang at that point. You could try booting with 'noapic nolapic'. You could also try debugging this with 'BOOT_DEBUG=2' or even '=3'. > is it not interesting that the earlier debian-installer, using kernel > 2.4 (with USB not probed for), or kernel 2.6, worked, without USB > disabled in the BIOS? perhaps something could be fixed so that people > didn't need to disable USB - you can see from the many reports on the > web that a lot of people didn't find out that they should do this Yes, I'm beginning to think this is a kernel bug in 2.6.8. For another example see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=279506. However, a bug should be filed by someone who actually has the problem so the kernel maintainers can contact them for further information. Feel free to do so.
