Comments/Problems:
I downloaded the .iso file directly into the CD burner program
(I am using roxio which came with the system).
I changed the boot order so the system would boot from the CD
drive.
I restarted the system. As expected, it booted from the CD.
The debian logo appears, with the option to get help or continue.
I pressed <Enter> to let the installation start. The following
happens:
- A few .gz files (two I believe) are uncompressed.
- I get about 2 screenfulls of messages which are obviously part
of the boot process. I would gladly send them to you, but I
don't know how to save them. As far as I can see, nothing
looks suspicious.
- The installation hangs. The last message I see is
io scheduler cfq registered (default)
I tried using the gui and expert installations and the same happens
(except that in the gui case't see the output to the terminal).

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.
