So it's hanging before tasksel installs the desktop task proper, when
it's installing discover1 and a few other hardware detection things.
And it's trying to read from your CD. If you didn't install from a full
CD, why?
It is a netinst CD (100-150 MB)
What's in your /etc/apt/sources.list?
Strange. There are two entries for the d-i beta3 CD - one commented out
and one not. I have not edited /etc/apt/sources.list manually. The
entries were all made by the installer (netinst CD image booted with
'expertgui').
If I comment out both deb cdrom entries, tasksel proceeds normally.
What now? Have I made a silly mistake during install or might this be an
d-i beta-3 installer bug?
Listing of /etc/apt/sources.list begins:
