Comments/Problems:
While preparing for the partitioning stage, it seemed to hang (14% of the
way through the progress bar). It seemed to be hung on a "grep".
Looking at the file:
/lib/partman/init.d/03kernelmodules_ext3
I noticed:
if modprobe ext3; then
>/var/lib/partman/ext3
fi
if grep -q ext3; then # NOTE THIS LINE
>/var/lib/partman/ext3
fi
I think that the line I highlighted is meant to read:
if grep -q ext3 /proc/filesystems; then
I killed the "grep -q ext3" process, and the installation proceeded without
problems.
neil.
