With that out of the way, the next most likely culprit would be BLODA
(virus scanner or something like that).  Since the installation itself
seems to have worked, you can also try to do a full rebase on the
installation, removing all the ".done" extensions you may find in
/etc/postinstall, then running setup again without installing anything
to trigger the postinstall phase again.  Finally, the first install
might have left some process hanging so if you want to start over with
yet another installation a reboot seems in order before trying yet
another install.

Achim.
