Bug#352973: Install: hang after Freeing unused kernel memory:
Hi there Frans,
We are trying the Etch CD now, having failed to boot with floppies... we
once got as far as beginning to download from the net (to 15%) but
didn't get that far again.
With Etch, we get as far as
Freeing unused kernel memory: 236k freed
NET: Registered protocol family 1
or, using >linux24
at
Setting up filesystem, please wait...
NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.0
Restarting from the CD ROM is very temperamental (maybe the computer has
had it!).
>linux noapic nolocalapic netcfg/disable_dhcp=true
NET: Registered protocol family 1

[hang]
Thanks again,
Helen

There's a few things you could try.
Instead of just pressing <enter> at the boot prompt, try entering:
- install noapic nolocalapic
This should be 'noapic nolapic'
- install acpi=off
- install24
- install24 noapic nolocalapic
Same here.
Did you try the Etch Beta1 CD? In that case you could also give a daily
built CD [1] a try. Again, try both the default install and the options
above.
Forgot the link for the daily images:
