The problem is that /dev entries need to be available in order for the partition to be mounted, hence the problem.

Well, I already thought about this. I was first writing to cdebconf.trace.$$ so the trace won't get overwritten. Then, I added an entry to finish-install dedicated at moving all traces to the partition. Unfortunately, it made the installer freeze, even before hitting C-A-F2: I guess traces filled the ramdisk till out of space far before reaching the end of the install. > Note that you should be able to tweak things by booting the installer with > BOOT_DEBUG=3. This will give you two debug shells before init is run. Thanks. -- Jérôme Marant
