Comments/Problems:
The system freezes (no NUM-LOCK, no CTRL-ALT-DEL, have to power-off!) totally at this stage:
Install base system:
######## 95% ######
installing extra packages
If I switch to the debug console (ALT-F3) before the machine freezes the last output is:
Setting up libdiscovery1 (1.5.9)
Settung up discover1 (1.5.9)
Detecting hardware:
I've tried the daily snapshot (20040722) but it freezes at exactly the same position with discover1 (1.6.1).
I have a very old sarge-i386-netinst (20040103) with libdiscover1 (1.5-1.4.3). This one does NOT freeze. But after the first reboot sarge gets the new packages from the internet (no new packages just upgrade the packages from netinst-20040103) and it freezes again with this output:
discovery-data (2.2004.05.03-4)
libdiscovery2 (2.0.4-5)
Discovering hardware: agpgart parport_pc usb-uhci aic7xxx e100
loading: agpgart:
Linux agpgart interface v0.99
agpgart: maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 439M
agpgart: Detected Via Apollo Pro chipset
I don't know if it's really the agpgart which is responsible for the freeze, maybe it's the next command and the system couldn't print the message.
Hopefully these are the information you need. If you need more informations please contact me.
