Bug#509238: panic backtrace
>First of all, it would be nice if you could precise what exact version you

I tried both the rc1 debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso and the daily
build as of a few days ago. Same result.

Ok, I downloaded these 4 again. It turns out that the daily build iso
was the exact same I had tried last. The boot.imb.gz was different so
I re-made the usb stick "disk" with the one in the daily build link
above and the daily build iso. So the backtrace below applies to the
daily builds above.

Actually, I was able to capture the problem in non-expert mode.
I figure the least amount of changes made in the flow of execution
of the program, the easier it would be to duplicate the problem.
I chose the defaults in the language selection, locale, etc...

Ok, it happens immediately after the identifying network hardware
screen. So soon after in fact that I thought I would have no time to
swtich to console 4, but quick fingers did it and quite a bit scrolled
off the screen, ending in this:

Of course, the machine is now totally frozen, so no scrolling back.
Any other tests? Let me know.
