Bug#780118: Unable to install to Plain machine
Package: debian-installer
This changed over the weekend without any change to the 'debian-installer'
code itself. It was working on Friday.
I GUESS the problem will be related to packages that are downloaded during
the early part of the install; probably partman-auto.
Problem:
I'm installing using the current AMD64 netboot installer.
Sha1sum:
6c27efd31f462b0954ea7ca5983ca01f633b8afa netboot.tar.gz
The disk is wiped and has no partitions. During install I selected "Guided
disk" and "Everything in one partition".
The installer creates the partitions and formats the ext4 root partition.
But is unable to mount the partition for installation of the base system.
Rebooting and trying again does not help. There is no option to "just use
the existing ext4 partition as root" and redoing the partitions leaves me
still unable to install.
If I do an "sfdisk -R /dev/sda" on the "ALT-F2" console it claims that the
Drive is in use and will not refresh the partition table.
This looks pretty release critical to me :-(
