Bug Description

Binary package hint: debian-installer

On certain hardware combinations the alternate installer hangs at 73% when updating the list of available packages. I tried to unplug the network cable, but it didn't change a thing. This happened on two computers with PATA disk and PATA CD/DVD. The installer works fine on another computer with SATA disk and SATA DVD. This makes no sense as alternate installer is meant for weaker/older systems that have only PATA components. The installer has been useless for 2 years now!
