Debian boot cd stalls: Dell Dimension E521 with amd64
The installation stalls just after the message
"io sceduler cfg registered (default)"
I tried "install BOOT_DEBUG=3" but got no error message.
I tried netcfg/disable_dhcp=true
hw-detect/start_pcmcia=false
exclude port 0x800-0x877
debian-installer/probe/usb=false
one at a time but to no effect. This PC came with a preinstalled XP and
I didn't create a partition because I don't care to keep the latter OS.
When I tried to reinstall XP to try check the BIOS settings it complained
that the unpartitioned space was too small, the main partition has another OS
installed, presumably Linux.
Where might the the installation be stalled? Any help would be most welcome.
