Bug#582044: [hw-detect] Detecting hardware hangs in sony netbook



2010/5/17 Jon Ander Peñalba <jonan.debian@gmail.com>

Package: hw-detect

Version: daily build

Severity: grave


I'm trying to install Debian from the daily netinstall (17 May 2010) with an USB on a Sony Vaio [1] and the installer hangs when scanning hard drives for an installer ISO image.

It jumps directly to 95% and doesn't move from there. All I can see in the screen is "Detecting hardware, please wait..."

I've tried to install Debian again on this netbook and the problem persists.
I think it might be due to the fact that the installer is looking for a CD-ROM drive an this netbook doesn't have one, but it's just a wild guess.
