That md5sum is correct:
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/20081205-1/i386/iso-cd/MD5SUMS
My main concern was to check if this was the "morning" build or
the "evening" build. Your image is from the morning build, which means
that it did not yet include some fairly big changes in the CD building
process and also did not yet include a new version of rootskel which
changed console detection for the installer, both of which were
committed/uploaded yesterday.
Checking with a new image is a good idea though, especially since we have
had these changes. They should not make a difference for you, but who
knows. I suspect it may just be a bad burn.
Please let us know if a current daily works, and please mention its md5sum
again.
Just to make sure: it is the isolinux bootloader that fails right? I.e.
the "freeze" is at the menu which allows you to select between e.g. the
text and graphical versions of the installer.
Or if the freeze at the first dialog of the installer itself, where you
select a language?
Cheers,
FJP
