Problem: Unable to install debian 6.0.3 as installation freezes during partitioning step. System: Asus P8H67-I motherboard w/8GB RAM Intel Core i7 2600 CPU Corsair Force 3 60GB SSD Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD Corsair 16GB USB stick with debian-6.0.3-amd64-CD-1.iso on Other USB stick with package firmware-realtek on Installation procedure: Copied debian-6.0.3-amd64-CD-1.iso to USB stick using cat (on other computer) Inserted USB stick, started computer Chose "graphical expert" installation Installation went as expected until the partitioning step, where it froze with the progress bar halfway. Observations: Log showed that at this point the USB mouse was being disconnected and rediscovered over and over. See also bug #602147, where something similar is mentioned. This is however probably completely unrelated to the problem at hand. Repeated attempt 1: As above, but chose (non-graphical) expert mode. Removed mouse first. Installation freezes at "Startar program for partisjonering" (starting program for partitioning), with the progress bar at half done. Could use other consoles. Started cfdisk, partitioned the SSD and HDD, hoping this could resolve the issue for the next attempt. Repeated attempt 2: As repeated attempt 1 (except I now had pre-partitioned hard drives). Tried to skip the partitioning step, which was not allowed. Did partitioning step, which froze as before. Log says: partman: No matching physical volumes found partman: No volume groups found partman: Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while partman-lvm: No volume groups found The symptoms seem similar or identical to those described in http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=72275 With kind regards Asbjørn Sæbø -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
