Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
Installation of Jessie 8.0.0 or 8.1.0 on a server (from a USB key, using the
debian-8.1.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso image).
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
After setting up the partitions in the installation process, formatting of the
first partition (/dev/sdb1) failed (the procedure got stuck). Typing
Ctrl-Alt-F2; mkfs.ext2 -m1 /dev/sdb1; Ctrl-Alt-F1 allowed to format, but the
installation remained stuck. Rebooting, and skipping formating of /dev/sdb1
(using "keep data") allowed then to install. This happened on 3 different
servers exhibiting Adaptec controllers.
* What was the outcome of this action?
* What outcome did you expect instead?
On two laptops, Lenovo T410s and Why! W650SZ-i7, this issue did not show up;
everything worked fine.
