I encountered the same stalling point, but with an ordinary install.
Out of the two or three recent bouts of install grief, this one was due
to the device numbering. During install, thanks to booting from a DVD,
the install thought that the system root was /dev/sde instead
of /dev/sda, and configured things like that. Check your kernel line
in
the boot menu for the wrong device name, and either correct it, or use
the UUID of the drive partition, instead.
Oddly enough the next entry in my grub.cfg file was for a recovery boot
mode, and that one had used the UUID, instead of the wrong device name.
I'm not impressed with the current install routine, and that was just
one of the things about it that annoyed me.
Ah . . well spotted - I should have seen that - thanks!
George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny,
not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
A great (but sad) sig!
Regards,
Phil.
