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.

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 or
- they are wishlist but rather special + exotic and not have been acted on for 
years. (See http://blog.liw.fi/posts/wishlist-bugs/ why it's often useful to 
close wishlist bugs.)

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
