debconf corruption ?
Well inserting the yenta_socket module locked up my computer solid
right after building the kernel, installing some packages, etc...
Since none of that work was saved to disk, things were fairly FUBAR.
I've almost got everything working again except for the following
problem :

Help would be greatly appreciated !!!
