Comments/Problems:
The problem seems to be the error the mainboard gives (Asrock K7S8X) as it
gives the error: lost interrupt on /dev/hda when I try to boot with Knoppix or
another linux distro like Mandrake.
This problem is not solvable by Debian developers, I guess. The interesting
fact is that Sid is running stable on the same machine (and Windows as well).
I would propose that severe problems of this kind don't just lead to a
freezing of the installer but to an error message and to the possibility to
switch of the PC
