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).

The installation with this partition layout worked without problems with Debian Jessie 8.1 - 8.6.
I get the same error when I try the example preseed from here:

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
