Does it alsways hang at the same package, even when changing the
package list? Try to lower the value of the variable $MAXPACKAGES (or
-m when calling install_packages), maybe this will help.
You can also add the package strace to the nfsroot and try to strace
the gzip process.

No, it doesn't always hang at the same package. I lowered MAXPACKAGES
to 50 but it didn't help. <br>

The problem is with the apt cache. Setting the apt's cache limit to a
higher value, as suggested by Pedro <span class="e"
id="q_10645e2afe9ade9f_1">Ferreira</span>, seems to fix the problem (5
out of 5 installations).<br>
<br>
Thanks all,<br>
