 Derek: There's no screensaver in d-i. Screen blanking is a distant
 possibility, though. The default screen blanking interval set by the
 kernel is 10 minutes, and d-i doesn't change this; if the failure
 happens after 10 minutes (or nearby, to allow for possible clock skew
 inside kvm) then that would provide some circumstantial support for
 this.

If that were the case, I'd expect the progress bar to jump if it was paused
for a few minutes, though no one has mentioned that.

 There is no fault on the test I just ran using the image 20080421 on
 hardware.  If possible could the original report please test and see if
 he still has the issue with the new cd?


I am downloading the that ISO now, I will run it on my problem machine and
report back tonight.

 If further testing reveals that disabling the tsc actually helps, I've
 prepared a kernel patch that will fix it for us:

 Mind you, the code is completely untested (it's getting rather late
 here), but it looks plausible.


Well I tested this on my machine here and I still see the problem, though
with notsc it seems less frequent. I'm concerned that may be wishful
thinking on my part.  I have noticed a new behavior where the install
red-screen fails during the selecting and installing packages bit towards
the end of the install. I get a stall like before, but this time when I hit
a key to continue, rather than carrying it, it drops me out to the red
screen. Even if I go go back a few steps in the install process, it keeps
giving me a red screen A installation step has failed or the like. I need
to do some more testing and see if I can get it to reliably correlate to
something I'm changing, but as you pointed out, it's getting late here
too...
