A pstree has revealed that /sbin/blkid -c /dev/null is executed at this time. The thing is that /sbin/blkid /dev/fd0 hangs while /sbin/blkid /dev/sda executes instantaneously. The same is for partprobe. This is due to a floppy controller being installed on the given computer but no actual floppy drive being present. Please change the blkid command execution to only affect /dev/sd* or at least not fd0 so that the installation process can process hang-free.
