Package: debian-installer
Version: wheeze
Severity: normal

I installed Debian wheeze (amd64) from flash disk with these partitions
(fdisk):

/dev/sdb1   *           1           2       16033+  14  Hidden FAT16 <32M
/dev/sdb2               3           6       32130    b  W95 FAT32
/dev/sdb3               7         245     1919767+   5  Extended
/dev/sdb5               7          87      650601    b  W95 FAT32
/dev/sdb6              88         172      682731    b  W95 FAT32
/dev/sdb7             173         176       32098+   b  W95 FAT32
/dev/sdb8             177         180       32098+  83  Linux
/dev/sdb9             181         184       32098+  83  Linux
/dev/sdb10            185         188       32098+  83  Linux
/dev/sdb11            189         192       32098+  83  Linux
/dev/sdb12            193         196       32098+  83  Linux
/dev/sdb13            197         245      393561    b  W95 FAT32

On sdb6 there is hd-media and iso image.

After few steps Installer (I'm using text installer) started to search for iso
images on all partitions...Installler succefully checked few partitions but
then freezed on sdb3 (Extended partition).
On another console I ran ps and I got processlist including information about
running mount process.
Mount was in R ("running") state and installer was blocked for many minutes
(installer last message was like "processing sdb3") - mounting Extended partion
blocks the installer (after few minutes I interrupted installation process).

I repeated this process with amd64 Debian squeeze hd-media  (same steps) and I
found no problems. This error is probably new in wheeze...

Exactly. Don't hesitate closing such install reports as the problem
is now very well known.
