It might be a temporary problem with the testing installer image. Have you filed a bug? You could just use the jessie installer and dist-upgrade to testing. -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

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

Just thinking out loud while you're waiting for others to chime in.. Is this something you could try pre-formatting before starting the installation then skip that step during installation? Or did you already try that? That's all I got.. It's just what I would try if I was in your Shoes. If you end up filing a bug report on it, you could then suggest from personal experience that pre-formatting does or does not help (well, did not help *you*) under those circumstances in case anyone else encounters the same before a permanent fix is found. Even if that work-around was to work (if a user was in a hurry to istall), determining (and then hopefully fixing) the cause of freezing up during any installation step helps keep newcomers from running off down the cyber highway to another distro. :) Cindy :) -- Cindy-Sue Causey Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA * runs with plastic sporks *
