Description Andreas Klein 2005-08-09 17:45:38 UTC 
If all packages are installed (all=all non-conflicting, one kernel), the system
doesn't boot.
After the scsi system initialization, the system stops booting with
. not found exiting to /bin/sh
If I say exit, the system starts-up normally.
The problem does not occur, when only installing the default selection.
The problem is at a really early boot-stage, I think it must be in the initrd.
If the problme is not know, and you do not have a better idea, then I will add
some echo commands to the initrd tomorrow, to see where it happens exaxtly

Doesn't sound like a kernel bug to me.
Comment 2 Steffen Winterfeldt 2005-08-10 13:47:25 UTC 
something with initrd
Comment 3 Hannes Reinecke 2005-08-12 09:20:35 UTC 
Indeed. Probably doesn't work correctly.

Looks like the timeout is not large enough.

Try adding 'udev_timeout=10' to the commandline parameters.
Comment 4 Andreas Klein 2005-08-12 09:32:44 UTC 
Yes, that helps! Seems to be neccessary, when installing on slow drives, like
USB connected drives.
Comment 5 Hannes Reinecke 2005-08-12 09:50:51 UTC 
So we can close it, right?
Comment 6 Andreas Klein 2005-08-18 14:53:11 UTC 
Maybe this parameter should be added, when installing onto USB-disk is detected.
