Description Hans Petter Jansson 2008-03-28 03:05:05 UTC 
The installer stops and appears to hang (though the mouse pointer keeps animating) during the "Probing hard disk controllers..." step. Switching to VT4 reveals an oops.

Pid: 3142, comm: y2base, trace:

EIP: strnlen+0x9

vsnprintf
seq_printf
r_show
seq_read
proc_reg_read
vfs_read
sys_read
syscall_call
0xb7984771

This prevents installation on my IBM T42p laptop.
