Made a liar out of me!
Yesterday rc2 hung 3x using expert26!
In various places: setting up pppoe, manpages.
There are no logs.
I saved a 2.6.8 installation image so I can use that instead of the disk.
Looking at the logs of your bug report, if you're experiencing random
hangs at all points of the installation process as well as running a
regular debian system, then there are really only two possibilities;
either you have broken hardware, or the kernel is not working properly
with your hardware.
Is there some reason why you're always using the 2.6 kernel? Why not try
2.4?
Joey:
I think I wrote this in another report (Bug#277177: installer hangs in
detecting filesystems):
Installing 2.4 ALWAYS works. Installing 2.6 in expert26 mostly works,
except for this one time.
linux26 rarely works.
I'd be more than happy to try anything you suggest.
I have no reports of hardware problems anywhere: I run either 2.6.9 or
2.4.29 (current).
Day before yesterday did a e2fsck -cc on both drives: clean.
There is of course, the setup: I run (B)Ruby, 2 monitors/keyboards/mice
on 1 PC for 2 simultaneous users with 2 X servers.
That uses either a patched 2.4.29 or a patched 2.6.9.
2 video cards: PCI MX-440 and AGP TNT2 and the monitors to those cards,
X servers pointing to the cards.
2 IBM PS/2 keyboards in the mini-connectors for keyboard and mouse
and 2 A4Tech USB mice in 2 USB ports.
But d-i rc2 finds the keyboard without a problems.

Hugo
