Bug#705971: debian-installer hangs when tty console in use (console-setup)
The bug happened when the actual installation of packages started. Unfortunately, I didn't save the log message before rebooting. The TTY I mentioned is one of the text consoles available through Ctrl-Alt-Fx (I would say the one I had was the 3), with a Busybox prompt. When the installer stops and hangs at the console-setup configuration, it is not possible to kill the old busybox process nor start a new one. I guess the 'normal' priority is right, although for me it was a show-stopper for my installation, and I had to abort and repeat the entire process. I'll try to install it again using a VM to see if I can catch it with more details (and snapshots, maybe?). Thanks for the reply. S.

I can confirm that there are still problems using my own qlogic card with beta3; but I have the added bonus of a SCSI/ethernet combo card with a PCI bridge on board, which seems to bring added problems on alpha -- I can't use this ethernet card from 2.4.24/25, either. I'm hoping that *some* qlogic cards will work better with a 2.4.25 kernel; if you have a different card than mine, I'd love to send you a 2.4.25-based image to test with (once I have it built).

I'm working with a Digital Personal Workstation 500a. Current workaround for this bug is to manually enter the aboot command line, adding DEBCONF_PRIORITY=low and not using hardware autodetection. The installer hung again when ethdetct ran and tried to install the qlogicisp driver. Andrew S.

Re: Debian Installer hangs SOLVED!
Booting the installer on a 7305 (DigitalServer 7000) works like described in the document Installing RedHat Linux 6.0 on a Digital (DEC) Alpha 4100 (Blakey, J. 1999; http://www.alphalinux.org/docs/rawhide/4100_install.shtml). in short: Use the Floppy-Disks Bootfloppies set boot_osflags root=/dev/fd0 load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=1 boot dva0 -file linux.bin Like this I was able to boot into the debian installer. Thanks for helping. Adrian.
