There isnt network or HD activity. Its 2 hours since then. I have tried 2 times from the start

Could you please attach /var/log/syslog to this bug, following the directions in http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingUbiquity/AttachingLogs? Thanks in advance.

Note, though, that unionfs is known to be broken in Gutsy at the moment. As such, installing from the desktop CD at the moment is I suspect largely doomed to failure, and I'm surprised you got as far as you did.

Changed in debian-installer:
assignee: nobody → kamion

Yes, with all the unionfs bug dumps in there this is likely bug 138915.

In the meantime, you can use the alternate install CD.
