Package: installation-reports Boot method: CD, but I guess any method would give same result Image version: 6.0.1a netinstall Date: can't remember
Machine: laptop with 8 GiB SSD Processor: Intel Atom Memory: 1G Partitions: no partition table, using entire /dev/sda as a partition Output of lspci -knn (or lspci -nn): not available Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [O] Detect network card: [ ] Configure network: [ ] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [E] Install base system: [ ] Clock/timezone setup: [ ] User/password setup: [ ] Install tasks: [ ] Install boot loader: [E] Overall install: [E] Comments/Problems: steps to reproduce: 0. possibly required: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda count=1 to erase existing partitions 1. load all components about partitioning 2. when partitioning select loop partition table 3. select /dev/sda as only root partition (no swap) 4. select ext4 filesystem 5. confirm everything untill the installer start to make the filesystem As a result it freezes for a while, mkfs.ext4 on other virtual terminal didn't help. If you reboot the machine and select resulting partition without formatting, you will end up unable to install the bootloader. (can't remember the error message) I guess, the problem is caused by mke2fs executable, than it must be reproduceable on any hardware with same partition layout. The problem was reproduced by other user on completely different machine. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
