I repacked the initrd to add the broadcom firmware files (see #492878)
but must have stuffed something up as when I netbooted it failed to
load any modules.
However now any menu item I pick - including "Abort the installation"

Hi guys,
I've got an automatic install (PXE, preseed) working nicely on sarge,
however I need to use a later kernel (network card and SATA controller).
So I've used Kenshi Muto's excellent backports and things are _mostly_
working. However in the preseed/late-command section I install some

I added the firmware from the firmware-bnx2 package into the initrd
(we pxeboot the servers) to fix this FWIW.
You can't download it via udeb since it could be the network adapter
you are trying to use!

I've hit this exact issue (nice workaround with the "echo" trick) and
been doing some more debug. With _loads_ of debug the bug
dissappeared :-( But I have now managed to see where the race is.
When the hang occurs, the last few things that debconf does (booted

We have some dell boxes with BIOS set to redirect console output to
serial after boot (that's the default).
When using a proper serial console, this breaks the display (so that
you can't see the grub messages). This is fair enough.
However,

I'm using the version from http://kmuto.jp/debian/d-i/ since I'm
installing on a new Dell R410 and it requires 2.6.29 or later.
It's a network preseed install and although I can ssh in and
/bin/network-console runs fine, if I select the option to

I'm now using the daily images (20091216) as you suggested (I swapped
to backport when I hit a console hang issue (fixed by vga=...) and
hadn't swapped back.
Same thing I'm afraid - I've added in "set -x" and this is what I see
(echo's I've added):
