Hi,

Curious one:

Debian 6.0 installer locked up (just after printing "ETCD") before going 
into the isolinux graphical splash when I tried to install it on a 
KVM hypervisor based virtual machine.

Installed fine under QEMU (slowly!). Transferred the disk image back to the 
KVM based VM and it booted fine and, as expected, ran rather better.

Any idea what could be upsetting KVM in the installer stage? I tried various 
virtual graphics cards and fiddled with a number of other things.

Cheers

Tim
