Bug#827948: Debian Testing Cannot be installed on Hyper-V 2012 R2

[Roger Hunen <bugs@hunen.net>]

Package: debian-installer
Version: 20170615+deb9u2+b1
Followup-For: Bug #827948

Dear Maintainer,

I am trying to install Debian 9 in a VM on Hyper-V 2012 R2 as
part of a test lab.

Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad (Q6600)
Memory   : 8 GB
Debian CD: debian-9.3.0-i386-netinst.iso
Installer: non-GUI

Switch to log screen (Alt+F4), then to console (Alt+F2).
Kill running mke2fs process and run manually: fail (stuck @ 33%)

Install using ext3 instead of ext4: fail (stuck @ 33%)

Install Debian 9.3.0 amd64: success
Install Debian 7 i386: success
Install Debian 8 i386: success

Issue seems to be isolated to Debian 9 i386 and independent of
selected filesystem type.

Please note that the automatically generated System Information
in this message reflects the reporting system, not the system on
which installation fails.

Regards,
-Roger
