Both failed during ide-floppy modprobing, as can be expected because the laptop lacks a floppy drive.Which architecture is this system? Debian-installer support 8 or so, at least 5 have IDE.
However, this system does not have floppy and it is brand new, so i guess it is natural for floppy detection to fail. Nevertheless, i failed to circumvent the hardware detection mechanism freezing upon ide-floppy probing on second try.
Finally, i tried knoppix 3.2, which worked fine :-( -- Sayan
