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 -- Tim Watts

Have you tried installing earlier versions of Debian in the same virtual machine? -- Sometimes the signs say "Speed Kills" and other times they say "Speed Cameras". How does it do that?

It feels like it is something to do with the splash graphic in VGA mode, but that might be a red herring. Cheers Tim -- Tim Watts
