Tried the latest Debian Installer, version 11/15/2004. Downloaded the netinstall.iso of that date. Result no different: Hangs when selecting linux26. Not exactly in unpacking procps but "setting up ifupdown". So since bug 277177 (Oct 18, 2004) no usable Debian Installer for linux26, when I got an email from Joey Hess about it.
This is the plainest of systems: KT7A Abit mobo with 3 168pin 256MB
memory strips 850MHz Athlon CPU and 2 HDD's: both IDE, one 80GB the
other 20GB and a CD burner, no network card, an exterior 56KB modem
What did you do during network configuration?
As you have no network card, I assume you selected "do not configure network at this time"; correct?
That is correct: no network. Do not configure it.
If you _did_ configure a network, that could well explain the problems while setting up ifupdown.
Tried it 3 times, same result all the time: the keyboard freezes in "installing the base system" and you are stuck: use the red button.
Are you sure the system is completely frozen? Can you, for example still switch to VT2 (using alt-F2) or VT3 or VT4.
System is completely frozen: no vt switching.
We could probably analyze this further if we had the logs for the installation (messages and syslog in /var/log).
Or try switching to VT3 during base installation and watch out for messages there.
I did that and that is how I know it stops at what I indicated. I will do it again and attach the messages and syslog in my follow up.
Thanks for replying.
Hugo
