Public bug reported: shortly after updating this machine to hardy (thus trackerd went mad indexing things), I saw the oops below in my kernel log. Machine is a Quad G5 PowerMac (64 bits powerpc kernel), though the problem doesn't seem to be in some powerpc specific area. It -could- have been

Ok so in the "nothing happens" state, in fact, if you wait long enough (that is something like 10mn or more), it ends up continuing the install. So it's not broken, just weirdly very very slow at this stage. So you can downgrade the bug to cosmetic, I would suggest fixing these: - It should be

I've seen variants of this problem on other machines, and afaik it's been reported on amd64 too. Usually, the installer loses fonts on the non-ncurses consoles after two switches back/forth... looks like it just got worse. The kernel has at least one font since I see some messages at boot... --

Note to the triagers: while I can't exclude the possibility, it doesn't smell like an architecture bug to me, more like a generic bug. The quad is SMPx4 and I was doing extensive disk accesses while trackerd was running, using multiple filesystems (ext3 and xfs), so the kernel was quite "exercized"
