Re: Test images for Debian lenny rc2 available

[Marc Singer <elf@buici.com>]

In testing another Debian install on a slug, I found a host that won't
set the clock.  During installation, there was a step where it tried
to set the clock and the installer asked if I wanted to continue
waiting while it tried to set the clock.  Once it rebooted the host,
the system hung while attempt to set the clock.

I recall that I disabled the hwclock command when I used this slug.

    done.
    Setting the system clock.

Eventually it gives up and continues to boot.

Is the cause of this kind of failure known?  Fixable?
