Bug#419906: Installation stops after retrieving packages
I used the Debian Etch CD 1 from the CD set.
I have also tried with the netinstall-CD using
the mirror ftp.fi.debian.org and another
mirror in Finland but the result is same.
I also tried the main Debian server and
the result is same. It only retrieves a
smaller number of packages and when it stops
the screen says like:
"retrieving package 8 of 8".
These are the last lines that I get in
the alt+F4 screen when the installation
has stopped:

I actually copied these lines from syslog.
I saved the whole syslog to a USB key.
If you need more details about my hardware
I'm glad to help you.
