Comments/Problems: System hung during package installs for Desktop Environment, SSH services
and basic system package sets.  System hang was reproducible at same spot.
Watched VT screen of F4 and there was no kernel dump or error.
The system became unresponsive.  Pressing numlock or caps lock
had no effect on LED for same.  One first attempt, used apt repo at Dal.ca.  On second
attempt used apt repo at uwaterloo.ca Computer Science club.  No difference.

Sorry I don't have the final line of the package that was being downloaded
at the time the system stopped responding.  I can tell you it did download
perhaps 100 to 300 packages before it seized.  It gave no error.  It behaved
as if it was taking a long time to download or whatever, except
that when I checked after 30 minutes or so of no progress, I saw the keyboard
wasn't responding with the standard numlock/capslock LED test of system health.
Control-Alt F1, etc. were also attempted to see what another VT might show.
Finally, a Stop-A was done, which should cause the PROM to pop us out to a ok >
prompt, and it did nothing.

This failure was observed twice, once with the progress bar view,
and once with the details view from F4 virtual terminal.

System seemed healthy prior to install attempt - it had been running Solaris 10 with ZFS
mirrored RAID on same disks for a few years and no hardware problems.

Hi,

thank you for submitting installation reports, much appreciated.

I read through all the bugs mentioned here (and I'm sure they were read by 
several people at the time they were submitted) and am closing them now as/if
- they (finally) indicated success and/or
- I know from first hand experience that the functionality is working in 
Wheezy and/or
- they only contained very little information and/or
- they contained user errors and/or
- they were caused by broken hardware and/or
- they have been from a development phase where things were not stable and/or
- they are quite old (and thus likely fixed today) and/or
- moreinfo was asked and not given.

If I've closed a bug incorrectly please do reply (it's easy to reopen and I'll 
do if requested) or just file a new one - thats often better, as the bug log 
will be clearer and shorter and not contain cruft.


cheers,
        Holger
