--- Begin Message ---Package: installation-reports Installation on Toshiba Satellite lowmem laptop: installation went without bigger problems so far, but machine doesn't boot into the new system. I chose to install grub2. Booting Debian GNU/Linux with 2.6.32-trunk-486 Loading Linux 2.6.32-trunk-486 ... Loading initial ramdisk ... appears on the screen, then the system stopps. Sometimes I get another screen: Decompressing Linux... Parsing ELF... done. Booting the kernel. and then the system stopps here. Menu entry in grub.cfg is: insmod ext2 set root: (hd0,1) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set [UUID] echo Loading Linux 2.6.32-trunk-486 ... linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-trunk-486 root=UUID=[UUID] ro all_generic_ide quiet echo Loading initial ramdisk ... initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-trunk-486 which seems correct (device is hda1, filesystem is ext2, filenames are correct). A kernel issue? The installer kernel boots correct, which is an 2.6.30-486.

I close this bug because of his longstanding and complex history, and reported a new one as follow-up: #625290 (against debian-installer).
