Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
Debian Sarge-rc1 CD installation image (the one downloader from http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sarge_d-i/i386/rc1/sarge-i386-netinst.iso) have problems during installation of 'linux26'
When the "install base system" phase starts, I get a red screen tailling that there was an error in debootstrap:
"The debootstrap program exited with an error (return value 1)."
In the 3rd terminal it reads:
Unpacking base-files (from .../base-files_3.1_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/base-files_3.1_i386.deb (--install):
subprocess pre-installation script killed by signal (Segmentation fault)
Ater this, I chroot to /target to see if I could run the command manually, but I found that any command I type in chroot, ends with a "segmentation fault" and the chroot command exit. I guess this is the same that happened during install.
I get the same issue using sarge-mini.iso install image. In both cases the installatin toke place in a vmware 4.0
In a real machine, this does not happens.

This is a known bug of vmware and that version of the kernel. I do not
know if it is a linux kernel bug or a vmware bug, but I'd lean toward
vmware bug since the kernel seems to work on other machines, and vmware
is supposed to emulate a real machine after all. I suggest you contact
vmware for support.
