Package: installation-reports
On running the installer manually from inside the OEM Windows installed,
everything appeared to run smoothly up to the reboot following partition and
formatting of the machines drives. On that boot the installer now running off
the HDD began looping at the "Install base system" step, no errors or other
signs of trouble - just display the progress bar for a few mins, then flick
out to the step-by-step listing as if that step was done - but highlighting
the same "Install base system" entry every time enter was pressed to start
the step.
Ummm... Question: you say "up to the reboot following partition and
formatting of the machines drives". debian-installer doesn't reboot
there. How did you prepare your USB stick, please?
It was a vanilla download of the 64-bit netinst ISO burned to the USB stick.
Formatting was the latest step I'm sure worked fine. The default process
was followed from there until reboot needed, then more default process.
Everything up to the step "install base system" at least appeared to
work - until that one did not.
