Solved in the new debian-installer beta2 version.

I read about that too, good news. All being well, I will try and update the images with the new installer.

Wow. I thought I was the only one with this problem. I wound up installing Ubuntu 12,04 on my daughter's new lappy rather than #!. sad

^^Should I download the updated torrent images all over again for helping out with seeding?

Any help with the torrents is always appreciated, thank you. I will post something in 'News and Announcements' when the images are ready. smile

Hi there!

I was having the same problem, hanging up on detect disks.
My problem was with the firmware. Dont know witch one I think it was the wifi firmware.

Here is my lspci:

01:05.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2] Network Connection (rev 05)

So I was searching, and finding a workaround here:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=681656

The bug is in the /bin/check-missing-firmware.

Todo:
1. boot the install media, and select install
2. Press alt+ctrl F2, then enter to activate the prompt
3. nano /bin/check-missing-firmware
4. Insert “exit 0” directly after “#!/bin/sh” line
5. Save file with ctrl-o
6. Press alt+ctrl F5 to go back to the install gui
7. Now you can continue the install progress and it wont hang up

I was doing it with no Logical volumes at the start, but I was setting up some within the install.

Wifi, and everithing is working after the install.

Anyway this is a great distro. Respect for the developers. Nicest defaults ever saw. smile

Hi, In new here and also somewhat new to Linux, and I really want to install this on my think pad, I have tried what "metapunk" posted above and didn't work for me,

not sure what he meant by "insert after" "4. Insert “exit 0” directly after “#!/bin/sh” line"

I tried the following:

[#!/bin/sh exit 0]

and

#!/bin/sh
exit 0

-----------------
This happens on both CB 10 and CB 11
As soon as I get this working I'm going to make a video tutorial how to fix this.
Someone please help me, I really really love this OS, its amazingly good in every way!

Thanks

Hey all,
