Bug#234459: Hangs at ide-floppy detect on Dell Inspiron 8100 laptop

["Ian Neubert" <ian@TWAcomm.net>]

Package: installation-reports

I just downloaded beta 2 of the debian-installer from
http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sarge_d-i/i386/beta2/sarge-i386-neti
nst.iso (from: http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/).

I tried to load it up on my laptop and it consistently hangs at 'Detecting
hardware / 95% / Skipping unavailable module 'ide-floppy' for 'Linux IDE
floppy'.

Is this a known bug?

Steps:
-Boot from cd just by hitting enter
-English (USA)
-American English
-It goes through a hardware detect, then loads installer components, then
does
a 2nd hardware detect and hangs at above messege

My system is as follows:
Dell Inspiron 8100 Laptop
Mobile P3 - 1.2 GHz
515 Megs Ram
Nvidia GeForce2Go / 32 meg
