Comments/Problems:
- (Apart from the minor remarks below) this went very smoothly.
X11 and sound 'just worked', in particular.
- Getting time from an NTP server hung for a while then quickly moved
on to the next screen without a clear indication of success or
failure. In fact my network wasn't working properly and this would
have been a good place to report that there was a problem.
- I managed to get the partitioner to hang. I'd selected guided LVM
partitioning but didn't like its decisions so attempted to change
them. Eventually I deleted all the partitions and even the PV and
tried to go through again but the partitioner hung during startup.
The progress bar shows 52%.
The last log entry is:
main-menu[32189]: INFO: Menu item 'partman-base' selected
ps shows shows, among other things:
1906 root 6020 S udpkg --configure --force-configure
partman-base
1907 root 4004 S /bin/sh
/var/lib/dpkg/info/partman-base.postinst con
1908 root 4140 S /bin/sh /bin/partman
2020 root 4140 S /bin/sh -e /lib/partman/init.d/35dump
(copy-typed so apologies for any errors.)
fdisk shows the partition layout to be:
/dev/sda1 * 1 31 248976 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 32 91201 722323025 8e Linux LVM
NB at this point there is no PV in /dev/sda2 - it has been
pvremove'd. NB this might not have been the case in earlier hangs!
I tried erasing both partitions with fdisk, killing partman and
going through again. This made no difference.
Next I tried zeroing the first megabyte of the disk. This also
made no difference.
I gave up and rebooted. This solved the problem for me.
