Bug#603459: debian-installer: Squeeze installer hanged at partitioning step when the language is selected as Turkish
Package: debian-installer
Severity: important
Squeeze Installer hanged at partitioning step when the language is
selected as Turkish. This is the daily build version of Netinstall at
12 Nov 2010, but there is the same problem with the earlier versions.
There is no problem, if language is selected as English.
To reproduce the bug:
- Boot from CD
- Install
- Select a language: Turkish
- Konum secimi (Select a location): Turkiye
- Bir klavye duzeni sec (Select a keyboard layout): Turkce (Q duzeni)
- Defaults until "partition disks" step
There is no problem if one of the guided defaults is choosen and if no
change is made.
When selecting the "manual" mode or trying to change a default value
of a partition in the guided mode (for example, changing ext3 to ext4
as the fs), the installer is hanged.
Outputs:
* Process bar is hanged at %54
* at terminal output screen:
(process:255) INFO: kbd-mode: setting console mode to Unicode (UTF-8)
* at terminal screen after ps command (the last few lines):
