 Comments/Problems:
 
 Everything worked fine up to the point of creating the root ext3
 filesystem. Then a kernel BUG occurred, and the installer remained stuck
 at a blue screen (with white underbar). The system is still responsive;
 I can switch to the other terminals and poke around, but the installer
 is horked.
 
 The console log, recorded via serial cable, is attached.
 
 Note that this error does not occur with testing/unstable installers.

Did You checked this hdd for bad sectors? Check SMART first if possible.

PS. Why 486 kernel instead 686?

Is that fully reproducible? I guess it is as you recorded the problem
but still need asking...:-)

Could you try with:

- one official squeeze image (having the exact URL of the image you
used would help, indeed)

- a daily built image downloaded from
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. Preferrably a *netboot*
(not netinst) image

SMART shows no errors. Zero sectors reallocated, zero pending. Besides,
a daily d-i image doesn't run into this problem.

That's the kernel that was in the netboot tarball...

Yep, I've hit this multiple times. Installing squeeze is currently not
possible on this system due to this bug, I'm afraid.

   used would help, indeed)

I used

http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz

Dated 2011-03-15 02:54 UTC, size 8829576 bytes. I extracted the kernel
and initrd, placed them on the hard disk, and booted via GRUB2.

 - a daily built image downloaded from
   http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. Preferrably a
   *netboot* (not netinst) image

Already done---see bug #628752. That one had a different problem, but at
least filesystem creation worked. I think this may all come down to a
fix that needs backporting.
