Comments/Problems: Obviously it was that Hotplug-Bug you already know. It
f...ed up the machine after an apt-get upgrade some weeks ago and an
occasional reboot led to that reboot-loops.
After checking for Hardwareproblems, Viruses and Rootkits, staring in
emergency mode and so on I finally didn't know what to do and reinstalled the
whole system and - whoops again that reboot-loops. It took me a while to find
the hint on the hotplug bug.
Then I booted in emergency mode, which btw gave me just a few more seconds to
fix the trouble, before next reboot!
It was easy then: just renaming /etc/init.d/hotplug to kotplug solved the
whole problem. I do not use the hotplug-features at the moment anyway. A HINT
on the problem during the installation would have helped me to save a lot of
time and effort.
There is the hint during the installation of the new kernel and its modules
which is about modconf and the need to reboot soon - well, but thats obviusly
not the problem.
I'm shure there is a way to boot the machine without certain Hardware services
(like the hotplug stuff) - well then some tips at boottime would make much
sense in case of such hardware-services bugs, at least to beginners like me.
As the Hotplug bug is known and can not so easily be fixed soon, it would also
be helfpfull to display an option to disable hotplug anyway when the relevant
Chipsets are detected or to let the user decide at least, if she goes the
risk.
Thank you anyway for the great new installer and all the effort you take to
build Debian! I love it.
