The RC1 netinst was tested extensively. > hub 1-0:1.0: USB hub found > hub 1-0:1.0: 8 ports detected > udevd-event[1655]: run_program: exec of program '/lib/udev/net.agent' > failed input: ImPxPS/2 Generic Explorer Mouse as /class/input/input1 > <A Long time, no more message appeared... > > <I grew impatient and press ^C / Ctrl+C> Did you boot with 'installgui'? What happens if you boot with the default version of the installer (just press enter)? > /srv/projects/d-i/trunk/packages/cdebconf/src/debconf.c:135 (main): > Cannot initialize debconf template database This is probably not the issue, but a result of you pressing Ctrl-C earlier. There is nothing wrong with cdebconf. Don't waste time trying to find out about that. Instead, you need to find out why your boot is hanging earlier. The real problem is probably an incompatibility of the kernel or some kernel module with your hardware. Please concentrate on the daily built version of the installer. The "net.agent" error should not be shown with daily builds. Try booting the installer with (combination of) the following options: - acpi=off - noapic nolapic - fb=false - debian-installer/probe/usb=false See also the help screens available at the boot prompt.
