[Jin Zhao <jzhao@qcorps.com>]

The following is what I ran into during a stage 2 installation on a dual 
opteron 250 machine. The full installation report was submitted to the 
submit@bugs.debian.org.

Comments/Problems:
base-config failed on taskselect --> aptitude. There are entries in 
/var/log/base-config.log like this:
