I'm still having problems finding out where the gtk fe crashes; it must somewhere in the init code of directfb (rather than the fe itself) I tried the following to see if I could get more infos: strace debconf -o d-i /usr/bin/main-menu ---------------------------------------------------------- ... read(13, "INPUT medium debian-installer/ma"..., 1023) = 40 write(12, "30 question skipped", 19) = 19 write(12, "\n", 1) = 1 read(13, "GO\n", 1023) = 3 --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation Fault) @ 0 (0) --- ... ---------------------------------------------------------- my setup environment is the following: * qemu running official sarge netinst (I'm launching debconf from the busybox shell on vt2) * gdb attached to qemu (which was run with -s) * gdb debconf (on the host machine) this is the last line in debconf.c before the crash 153 confmodule->communicate(confmodule); if you have any ideas on how to find out where the code crashes it will be very useful thanx d. PS: here's the error in case you were interested http://www.webalice.it/zinosat/dfb_2.7.2-0_err.png
