This problem is not solvable by Debian developers, I guess. The interesting fact is that Sid is running stable on the same machine (and Windows as well). I would propose that severe problems of this kind don't just lead to a freezing of the installer but to an error message and to the possibility to switch of the PC -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
