Bug#681656: Debian Installer hangs at Detect network hardware stage
I have same problem here. Problem == I attempted several installs of Debian Wheezy - BusinessCard Installer - Daily Build from http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/amd64/iso-cd/ between various dates but the Installer always hangs at “Detect network hardware”. The install was performed using a cat5e cable. I tested several Netinst Installers and the same problem exists. I tested the Installer using the following commands $ Install $ Expert install $ Advanced options/Rescue mode $ Advanced options/Expert install $ Advanced options/Graphical Expert install Ctrl+C and Alt+F[1-4] works when “Detect network hardware” hangs. After Ctrl+C “Detect network hardware” then runs fine and “Configure the network” succeeds too but the Installer then hangs at “Starting up the partition manager” at 40% progress. Workaround = The bug possibly seems to be in /bin/check-missing-firmware which is called by /bin/ethdetect I performed the following Installer commands as a workaround $ Advanced options/Expert install $ Execute a shell $ nano /bin/check-missing-firmware Inserted “exit 0” directly after “#!/bin/sh” line Save file $ exit I then ran the Installer steps as normal and the whole installation proceeded perfectly fine. Since then Debian Wheezy has running fine and I am able to perform daily tasks and connect to the internet as normal ie. the workaround has so far not hindered the daily usage. Info === It seems like a similar bug exists here since Debian Lenny http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=509238 Thanks Ibaidul -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
