"hung" as in "it sits there forever"? oooh so sad... this is not very easy to debug then. > in debootstrap most of the times, but occaisionally I had it hung already > some > time earlier during the package unpack/install/configure. Hummm... things to check/try out popping out of my head: - /dev/shm usage (use df -h), if it goes low (very low) increase it - set debug=true, put an "exit 1" before debootstrap then run debootstrap manually from the provided shell (well... probably not that useful), be careful, no Ctrl-C there :) - start uml_mconsole and send a sysrq+t and see who is hung and where - add "set -x" to all rootstrap modules :) - strace deboostrap in the "debian" module > I've been using the latest user-mode-linus and rootstrap 3.22.
