    Further information:

    The same problem ocurred when using the the Aug 12 daily build from
    here: http://people.debian.org/~jbailey/d-i/hppa/daily/

    Also, when I say lcoked up, I mean the system becomes completely
    unresponsive and the LED heartbeat indicator stops flashing.

    Please contact me if you require more information.

    Thanks

    I guess it's not possible for you to do an installation via a real
    terminal (ie not serial console) so you could check what's going on
    via a shell on the 2nd virtual console?

    Unfortunately the machine only has a serial console. I'd love to be
    able to provide more information if there's another way to get it :(

    I was able to get the system installed using rc1 in a very roundabout way:

    I created the partition table automatically using rc1 and selecting
    the option to use a single partition.

    They were created as follows:

    SCSI1 (0,1,0) (sda) - 4.2 GB SEAGATE ST34573N #
    #1 primary 33.7 MB K #
    #2 primary 130.8 MB K ext2 /boot #
    #5 logical 3.9 GB B K ext3 / #
    #6 logical 194.1 MB K swap swap #

    I then netbooted with lifimage from woody.

    I formatted and test mounted /boot as ext2 and / as ext3. They worked
    fine so I unmounted and rebooted.

    Next I netbooted using rc1.

    I chose manual partitioning and configured the partitions to be
    mounted on the appropriate mount points, but not formatted.

    The installer proceeded and everything appeared to work fine.

    I rebooted the system and it needed to fsck /

    /dev/sda5: Backing up journal inode block information.
    /dev/sda5 has gone 49419 days without being checked, check forced.
    /dev/sda5: ***** REBOOT LINUX *****
    /dev/sda5: 10465/480960 files (0.7% non-contiguous), 69162/960651 blocks

    Once the system rebooted again it did an fsck on /boot and everything started up as normal.

    I'm sure this report isn't as helpful as it would be if I had access to a second virtual console, but unfortunately the hardware simply doesn't allow
    it. :(
