Comments/Problems:

The installer hangs with the message "Installed Mutt". My most recent
interaction with the installer before that was selecting the screen
resolution (I chose only 1280x800)

ps -aux shows that aptitude is in the Z state. 

The latest message on VT4 is "Setting up dpkg-dev (1.13.16)"

The last line in /target/var/log/dpkg.log is "status installed
dpkg-dev 1.13.16".

I have partitioned the machine with hda1 as root (with xfs) the rest
of the disk is used for lvm with volumes for swap and /home (also
xfs). 

I selected only "Laptop" and "Standard System" in tasksel.

It's not possible for me to provide more information since the
installer was completely stuck.

I ended up rebooting and installing without choosing anything in
tasksel which worked nicely.

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
  Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
  the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
  D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
  fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful


The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet. 

In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.

You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.

If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.

Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
