Comments/Problems:
After selecting which install (tried normal and expert) the kernel boots but hangs right away, only showing:
[ 0.279513] Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 100x37
[ 0.280223] fb0: VESA VGA frame buffer device
[ 0.280361] xen-platform-pci 0000:00:03.0: PCI INT C -> GSI 30 (level, low) -> IRQ 30
[ 0.281238] Grant table initialized
After 120s a kernel INFO message is shown (again at 240s and a final one at 360), about task swapper blocked for more than 120 seconds. (see also screendump)
Note, beginning of september I created several VMs using the testing amd64 netinst available at that time, and it booted just fine, no problems installing or afterwards running of the VMs.
