Comment 12 for bug 135370

I think I was able to isolate the problem. I've tried to reinstall Gutsy and now it hung. Basically what I did differently this time was to specify a different mountpoint for NTFS volumes:

/dev/sda2 at /mnt/vista instead of /media/sda2
/dev/sda5 at /mnt/homek instead of /media/sda5

You can see that mount.ntfs calls don't finish, as they are listed in process list:

# ps axf | grep mount.ntfs
27549 pts/0 S+ 0:00 \_ grep mount.ntfs
26621 ? Ss 0:00 /sbin/mount.ntfs /dev/sda5 /target/mnt/homek -o rw
26628 ? Ss 0:00 /sbin/mount.ntfs /dev/sda2 /target/mnt/vista -o rw

Mountings at this point are as such:

# mount -l
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
tmpfs on /lib/modules/2.6.22-12-generic/volatile type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
tmpfs on /lib/modules/2.6.22-12-generic/volatile type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
varrun on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=0755)
varlock on /var/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=1777)
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
devshm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)
/dev/sda7 on /target type jfs (rw) []
/dev/sda5 on /target/mnt/homek type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,blksize=4096) [HOMEK]
/dev/sda2 on /target/mnt/vista type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,blksize=4096) [VistaOS]

I will attach two more screenshots and syslog for closer inspection.
