Well it does have the problem of being stuck with an old e2fs lib,
which prevents using ext4 and maybe even some ext3 features on /boot.

Btw, you can check /var/log/syslog from a second terminal (Alt+F2) to see if
there are any error messages related to "choose-mirror".
If you find something there, let us know.
