You'll have to check what's going on in the debug console (IIRC, it's vt4 currently). You'll probably see some kernel errors about not being able to write to the drive and/or kernel panics or something else. (Formatting drives is pretty basic; failing during that usually indicates hardware failure, or in this case, something wrong with anything in the virtualization stack.) -- Don Armstrong https://www.donarmstrong.com To punish me for my contempt of authority, Fate has made me an authority myself -- Albert Einstein
