One of my questions was why apt-get worked to install the initramfs-tools, the kernel and some other packages but later hung while it was building the cache (which clearly it had built already to install some packages): before the installer offers to install additional packages, it changes the apt sources, which leads to apt rebuilding the cache, and here it hangs. Remember how I said that downloading a file with wget prompts apt to work again? Apparently any filesystem access will do (I just ran find / > /dev/null). Gordon, can you confirm this? -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
