Comments/Problems:

partman hung at either 50% or 54% during the "Partition hard drives"
phase of the installer.

switching to a vt, i was able to see that it appeared to be hung
during 35dump.

killing parted from a vt was successful, but each time i tried to
re-run partman, it hung on 35dump again.

I ultimately installed manually, thanks to parted-deb and debootstrap
:(

I'm attaching the output of lshw -- i'm not sure what  else would be useful.
