Comments/Problems:
Used command-line install, selected manual
partitioning (mostly since the guided mode spends
forever erasing a 250GB disk), configured up.
Created three partitions: /boot, a 2GB partition for
swap (random key, no erase) and a partition of the
rest (passphrase, no erase). Created swap and / inside
those two partitions, worked.
Installation went fine until under "Installing base
system" it hangs at 73%, "Creating device files..."
I haven't done a non-crypto install on this one with
this image, but I did do that with a daily image early
this week (12-13th or so) and it worked, so my guess
is that it's related to the encrypted drives
(sda5_crypt, sda6_crypt). Any idea how I should
proceed?

Kjell Rune Skaaraas
