Can you please try again and see if it fails at the exact same place?
If it is, you can try to use some basic Unix commands to find out which
process is actually hanging (use ps axf from a seprate terminal for
instance and follow the process tree of install).  You could also try to
use 'strace -p <pid>' of the process in question.  If it turns out that
the process hangs in futex calls, then yes, we have seen this more than
once with differing Linux systems.  We still suspect that it is a
kernel/libc combination problem because it usually went away usually
after changing the exact used kernel version.

Cheers
