Severity: important

This also appears as the archived installation-reports #277177.

Booting from the 11/22/2004 version and selecting "linux26" the installer freezes at
"Installing Partitioner" when at F4 this appears:

DEBUG: virtual package harddrive-detection

Booting default with 2.4.27 works OK.

Hello,

Previous update to this bugreport was in march 2005.
(see http://bugs.debian.org/282780 for complete overview)

It was before the release of Debian 3.1, codenamed Sarge.
Meanwhile we are preparing for the release named Etch.

One update was from Joey Hess saying:
|Looking at the logs of your bug report, if you're experiencing random
|hangs at all points of the installation process as well as running a
|regular debian system, then there are really only two possibilities;
|either you have broken hardware, or the kernel is not working properly
|with your hardware.

And last update from the submitter:
|The boot failure is most likely being fixed.
|If new versions might fail,
|then report it by filing a new install report.

I do read that as the probleem is fixed.

Cheers
Geert Stappers, closing this bugreport.
