So the pause is definitely EDD-related, and it doesn't happen when you boot the squeeze kernel from your hard disk, right? If so, then this looks much like a BIOS oddity. To everybody: I wonder why edd=off isn't the default in the installer, does d-i load the edd module and use the info it provides? Apart from this the issue seems unrelated to the Debian Installer. -- Regards, Feri. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Bug#603960: Same problem occurs with amd64 iso image
Hello Feri, I just tested the original beta2 squeeze installer. Selecting "Install" from the splash screen menu exhibited the same behavior as with the special ISO you had linked me to: a 30-second or so wait, and then the installer process began and the language menu showed up. Replacing the closing "-- quiet" with "edd=off" as you instructed, the installer still worked. In this case however, there was no wait at all for the language menu to show up.

I Cc-d the bug report, so you needn't submit this separately anymore. However, I'd like to ask you test two more things if possible: please try the original beta2 squeeze installer again, giving the EDD probe some more time to time out. Then, whatever happens, boot again, press TAB on the Install menu item, and replace the closing "-- quiet" with "edd=off" on the command line.

Hi Eric, Please try the image at http://apt.niif.hu/debian-squeeze-di-beta2-amd64-netinst_4.04-pre3.iso This is a remastered installer built with the debugging version of the newest upstream Isolinux and a modified config which makes it easy to skip the graphical menu for getting more progress output. After the isolinux banner appears, it should inform you that you can type text and text-788 at the boot prompt. You've got 10 seconds to start typing, please test both options. -- Thanks, Feri. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Bug#603960: Same problem occurs with amd64 iso image
This bug also occurs when using the amd64 iso image (http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/squeeze_di_beta2/amd64/iso-cd/debian-squeeze-di-beta2-amd64-netinst.iso), downloaded 2010-12-10. Exactly the same behavior is exhibited: I get to the splash screen, and hit Enter. Then it reads from the CD drive, and then stops reading, and nothing happens. The splash screen is still displayed. Then if I start pressing keys, after several presses, beeping starts. I was able to install Debian Squeeze by using the HDD method with the files at http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/amd64/ .
