It also has Silicon Image SATALink PCI card with two 200 GB Seagate drives, the first of which is being used for the installation. The installation hangs before partitioning at "Scanning disks... 38%". Some of the interesting processes running are: udpkg --configure --force-configure partman /bin/sh /var/lib/dpkg/info/partman.postinst configure /bin/sh /bin/partman /bin/sh /lib/partman/init.d/30parted parted_server parted_devices I think perhaps parted is hanging.
