Installation runs smoothly until the reboot (using kernel 2.6) where after
loading a module for audio i810 booting stops with :
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address

Append "emergency" to the kernel command line when booting ("linux
emergency" will do), and then add a "skip i810_audio" to
/etc/discover.conf and also add i810_audio to /etc/hotplug/blacklist,
should fix it. (I think i810_audio is the relevant module.)
 

The emergency helped a lot I can say , but  I wasn't able to to boot 
into the machine even with that .
Messing around  I found that disabling the hotplug init.d script did the 
trick, and now I have to find which
device is causing the trouble.

Anyway thanks a lot and may we all  have a happy new year

Depends on how hung the system is. You might be able to find a copy in
/var/log/kern.log, or you might have to write down the oops by hand.
