Thank for your answer; sorry that I have taken so long following up. I needed
to find a time slot to do a new full installation, still based on etch beta 2
installation disk, and without manually installing discover2.
I have now done that, and the problem, whatever it was, has completely
disappeared. My best guess is that it was a "udev" problem, and that the
development of the "udev" package has solved the problem at some time between
early April and now - eight versions has been issued in the interval.
So my suggestion is that this bug report should be closed. The bug was real
at the reporting time, but no more, and it has nothing to do with
debian-installer anyway.
thanks for your efforts
