Without a big enough swap partition the ssh daemon goes out of memory creating the root fs, disconnecting the user. Moreover, trying to login again to resume the installation, partman hangs doing: cd /var/lib/partman/devices/=dev=mtdblock0 open_dialog DUMP (from /lib/partman/init.d/35dump) BTW, besides from this issue, the installation was perfect, congrats for the really fine job. I've been able to complete the installation twice, the first time with a 128M swap partition, and now even with a smaller one, as suggested by Otavio [1], just 96M. The partman-auto reciepe for "put everything in one partition" creates a swap area of around 80M, which are not enough; I'd suggest to raise the default size, maybe only if in low-mem.
