I hope the attached gzipped /var/log/syslog will give you what failed. I tried three times, in the attached log the error is at: Oct 24 20:37:21 Oct 24 20:54:13 Oct 24 21:12:48 -- Please make sure that the hardware-summary log file, and any other installation logs that you think would be useful are attached to this report. Once you have filled out this report, mail it to submit@bugs.debian.org. P.S.
