I have done all according to your suggestions: The background of the
screen now is red and the last lines read like (this is all I can read)
... ss/net/lo
+ local socket=/sys/class/pcmcia_socket/pcmcia_socket0
+ local netdev=/sys/class/net/lo
+ [ -L /sys/class/net/lo/device ]
+ [ 1 -eq 1 ]
+ grep -q pcmciautils /var/lib/apt-install/queue
+ apt-install udev
+ true
+ [ -f /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug ]
+ apt-install usbutils
+ true
+ [ -d /proc/acpi ]
+ apt-install acpi
+ true
+ apt-install acpid
+ true
+ apt-install acpi-support-base
+ true
+ [-d /sys/class/mic/pmu/ ]
+ list-devices cd
+ list-devices maybe-usb-floppy
+ [-n /dev/hdc ]
+ apt-install eject
t-devices maybe-usb-floppy
I have transscribed the above message from my laptop screen and inserted
a linefeed before every "+" since the original output looks a bit more
like:
ss/net/lo
+ local socket=...
after the above line "...maybe-usb-floppy" the machine hangs and again
the caps-lock LED is blinking.
