Bug#139313: install of woody hangs in pcmcia-cs on non-pcmcia hardware
Package: boot-floppies
Version: 3.0.20
I am installing woody on a 486/66 with 16MB and three NE2000
compatible netcards (all of different make, two of them
soft-configurable). I use the idepci set of floppies (even though the
machine has an ISA motherboard) and then fetch basedebs.tar via NFS
from another machine, using one of the netcards. So far everything
works.
After about 40 minutes of activity, debootstrap freezes the machine
completely (no reaction to keyboard, cannot switch VCs). The last
thing going on seems to be setting up of pcmcia-cs (3.1.31-7).
This is reproducible.
There is a recent bug report against pcmcia-cs (bug no. 138309) which
reports similar symptoms, and a possible fix is included in version
3.1.33-3 of the package.
I suggest including this (or later) version of pcmcia-cs into
basedebs.tar as a first attempt to fix this.
