Bug#542448: debian-installer: stops during boot on usb/scsi hardware detection
Package: debian-installer
Severity: critical
Tags: patch
Justification: breaks the whole system
Machine: Dell D630
Processor: T7300
Memory: 4GB
During boot of the installer, it hangs when showing:
usb 7-1.2: O2Micro CCID SC Reader
usb 7-1.2: Manufacturer: O2
usb 7-1.2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
I am using the netinstall amd64. I tried the 2009/08/16, 2009/08/17, 2009/08/19
installers, from CD.
I also tried to boot the 2009/08/19 build from USB flash disk and it shows:
It happens the same with the 19-Aug-2009 D-I.
Installing from a pen drive it shows:
usb 7-1.2: O2Micro CCID SC Reader
usb 7-1.2: Manufacturer: O2
usb 7-1.2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

The installer just stops here.
If I remove/insert usb devices, the kernel keeps printing information about it, but the installation doesn't continue.
The Lenny installer works fine.
