In this PC modprobe agpgart always hang forever not only for debian (I don't know if this happen in all XE2 or only in mine) so discover configuration hangs forever. This is the workaround I used to skip agpgart probing during discover setup: - Boot in expert mode. - Do all installation stages until Install base System. - Star Install Base system and INMEDIATLY create a /target/etc/discover.conf containing 'skip agpgart'. This causes discover instalation to fail, but install base system fase is completed. - chroot to /target, mv /etc/discover.con.dpkg-new /etc/discover.conf and add 'skip agpgart'. Reinstall discover in the chroot. exit the chroot. - Continue installation. And reboot. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-request@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
