Package: debian-installer
Version: 20101127 (6.0 squeeze)
Just trying out Debian for the first time, installing it over the top of a Gentoo box. I configured all the partitions (mostly by accepting the existing software-RAID configuration and leaving it unchanged except for reformatting everything.)
After this the main menu came up with "Configure MD devices" which I selected, and half an hour later it's still sitting at a blank (blue) screen. 

This is a network install, booted over TFTP and running through SSH.  Syslog says:

Last two messages are from my login to get this. /proc/mdstat says all RAID arrays are functioning normally. I just tried reconnecting and doing it again with the same result. New log messages are:

Guess I should skip this step...

Hi,

thank you for submitting bug reports concering debian-installer, much 
appreciated.

I read through all the bugs mentioned here (and I'm sure they were read by 
several people at the time they were submitted) and am closing them now as/if
- 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 contained user errors and/or
- they have been from a development phase where things were not stable and/or
- they are very old and/or
- they are wishlist but rather special + exotic and not have been acted on for 
years. (See http://blog.liw.fi/posts/wishlist-bugs/ why it's often useful to 
close wishlist bugs.)

If I've closed a bug incorrectly please do reply (it's easy to reopen and I'll 
do if requested) or just file a new one - and that's often better, as the bug 
log will be clearer and shorter and not contain cruft.


cheers,
        Holger
