Some systems might freeze, I also had a report of a system that disabled the legacy keyboard when usb was probed, but did not really freeze. The nousb thing must be a boot-floppies parameter (I don't think it's a kernel parameter, is it?), and won't work. This is most likely i386 specific, but if we have the wrong module listed for some other arch, maybe needed there too, dunno. > 2) hw-detect/start_pcmcia=false > Is this i386 only? > When should this option be used? If you see a freeze when starting PC card services during hardware detection. Oddly, some report that it says it's skipping the ide-floppy driver and then freezes. That is right before it starts pcmcia, and maybe it does not update the progress bar quite right. This is probably i386 only, at least all reported hangs are on i386 hardware. > Is the procedure described in: > http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/ch05s01.html#id2453819 > still valid? This might work, but with d-i you have to do it before the hardware detection pass, so boot in expert mode and run a shell before running hardware detection. > 3) netcfg/use_dhcp=false > I guess this is valid for all archs.
