You're right, I did not delete the 3rd "Whole disk" partition. (I performed the installation with the debian install guide under the eyes)

The kernel seems to detect it all right. When I say "console", I mean RJ45 console cable through Serial A. Meaning, one single tty, an no additionnal tty that would allow me to look at logs / try something using a shell. Otherwise, yes, the machine is alive (ctrl+sth brought me back to the "initialize partition" menu). It really seemed as if the install goes OK as long as there is not too much disk access. Formating a swap is still OK, formating a more reasonable partition (1 GB for /) is not. -- Guillaume Tamboise First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." -- Gandhi
