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.
