I have also come across the same problem as Adam on a FLEX-ES system
running z/VM 5.2 where it hangs in exactly the same place. A quick test
of just IPL'ing under Hercules from tape though works just fine so I
just need to test using tape on FLEX-ES under z/VM.
One thing that might be a

Not that I spot anything.
This is a perfectly normal (if
slow) z/VM development system (yes, it's actually emulated, but for all
that, IBM still

Maybe it's the same bug? Though my

Whoops. Got the wrong end of the stick. I was thinking boot problems
with the kernel... since we're using the same (ish) kernel and both
having problems with freezing, I thought it might have some
similarity. Never mind.
Plus.

You could try a daily built image from [1], which uses 2.6.26-12 (current

Lenny 2.6.26-1 fails identically to Lenny d-i. (after aptitude dist-

Here's how I'd do it:
Set up a new disk (this does require that you can get a new chunk of DASD;
under z/VM, of course, this is usually really easy. LPAR, not so much.)
Mount it from the SuSE system.
Bind-mount /sys, /proc, /dev
debootstrap into the new disk
run mkinitrd/zipl on the new

Sometimes the session hangs just after memory detection. Sometimes I
