There are two groups of servers: A) Those for which TASKSEL/PKGSEL do NOT hang at the dpkg-preconfigure process B) Those for which TASKSEL/PKGSEL does hang at the dpkg-preconfigure process
The only hardware differences between these servers is that there are different processors: A) Intel Xeon 5130 2.0Ghz dual core, 1Gb RAM, 2 x 73Gb 2.5" SAS disks RAID 1 on IBM serveraid 8k-l, IBM RSA II Slimline Refresh 1 card B) Intel Xeon 5160 3.0Ghz dual core, 2Gb RAM, 2 x 73Gb 2.5" SAS disks RAID 1 on IBM serveraid 8k-l, IBM RSA II Slimline Refresh 1 card Another system (IBM x3850) falls into group (A) and is spec'd as follows: Intel Xeon MP 3.66Ghz single core, 4Gb RAM, 2 x 36Gb 2.5" SAS disks RAID 1 on serveraid 8i, IBM RSA II Slimline Refresh 1 card I don't really see anything here in the hardware which seems likely to cause the issue we're seeing. All these servers are using the same DI configuration file, preseeding and mirror. They are all installing via the same VLAN. -- William Oakley
