If i install the beta on my test machine it reliably hangs sometime during the
package installation phase. This happens in both graphical and text mode.

When it hangs in text mode console switching and sysrq works, but nothing else.
No strange warning messages.

Here are parts of the output from sysrq-t. Several other processes are also in
the D state. (This is the Skipjack-re0403.0 tree, but it happens also with the
public beta)
