Comments/Problems:

partman hung at either 50% or 54% during the "Partition hard drives"
phase of the installer.

switching to a vt, i was able to see that it appeared to be hung
during 35dump.

killing parted from a vt was successful, but each time i tried to
re-run partman, it hung on 35dump again.

I ultimately installed manually, thanks to parted-deb and debootstrap
:(

I'm attaching the output of lshw -- i'm not sure what  else would be useful.

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
