Package: debian-installer Dear Maintainer,
I tried to install Debian Jessie 8.7 over the network with a preseed-file. After partitioning I get the following message: " The attempt to mount a file system with type ext4 in SCSI1 (2,0,0), partition #3 (sda) at / failed. [...] " The partitions are created as defined in preseed (checked with fdisk).

I get the same error when I try the example preseed from here: https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/example-preseed.txt d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/sda d-i partman-auto/method string lvm d-i partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm boolean true d-i partman-md/device_remove_md boolean true d-i partman-lvm/confirm boolean true d-i partman-lvm/confirm_nooverwrite boolean true d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe select atomic Trying to mount /dev/sda1 to /mnt gives the message: "mount: mounting /dev/sda1 on /mnt/ failed: No such file or directory" Bind-Mount of /etc to /mnt is working (this was only a test) Cheers Manuel -- System Information: Debian Release: Jessie Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.36-1+deb8u1 (2016-09-03) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/busybox
