Nop, the daily build shows still the same problem.

The 'solution' to use "install console=/dev/ttyS0,9600", descripted in
one email (msg575187) in regards to Bug#501561, provides at least a
workaround to install Lenny.

Please try booting with 'install BOOT_DEBUG=3'. You should then get a debug shell where things do work.

What is the output of the command 'console-type' in the debug shell?

serial

I took two screen captures from minicom.
A single screen capture does not provide sufficient info.
What would be interesting is a _full_ log (i.e. scrollback of console messages) of a boot from a maximized minicom session of:
- boot with 'install BOOT_DEBUG=3'
- in the debug shell add a 'set -x' on 2nd line of /sbin/reopen-console
- type 'exit' twice to exit the debug shell and continue installation

I meant a _full_ log/capture not a screenshot. ;-)

Please gzip the resulting log.

I did two _full_ logs. One with 'install BOOT_DEBUG=3' which leads to the problem. One with 'install console=/dev/ttyS0 BOOT_DEBUG=3" which lets me install debian.
Where should I put them (gzip'ed)?
Should I really send as an attachment to this list?

Rgds.,
Klaus
