Severity: important


The Wheezy installation  hangs while loading the 

partitioner (hd-media daily from 08-08).

 
The ps w output:

The mdadm process hangs, which also occured in the bug report  #683849.

I could continue with the installation after adding "exit 0" at the 

beginning of the file /lib/partman/init.d/25md-devices 

(package: partman-md).

On the same machine the Squeeze mdadm command 

exits  successfully:

# mdadm --examine --scan --config=partitions
#

# cat /proc/mdstat

Hi,

thank you for submitting installation reports, much appreciated.

I read through all the ("partman" related) bugs mentioned here and am closing 
them now as
- they (finally) indicated success and/or
- I know from first hand experience that the functionality is working in 
Wheezy and/or
- they only contained very little information and/or
- they were (very) old.

If I've closed a bug incorrectly please do reply or just file a new one - 
thats often better, as the bug log will be more clear.


cheers,
        Holger
