qemu --version output: "QEMU emulator version 7.2.3"
Host OS: Gentoo Linux
With "qemu-img create -f raw -o size=6G sda.img" i.e. 6GB virtual hdd:
Initial boot: [O]
Detect network card:[O]
Configure network: [O]
Detect media: [O]
Load installer modules: [O]
Detect hard drives: [O]
Partition hard drives: [O]
Install base system:[E]
proceeds to the system installation step despite not having enough
space in the root partition, fails with an uninformative error message
"the step that failed : install the system", in all three installation
modes (livecd, graphical, text)
with "qemu-img create -f raw -o size=12G sda.img" (should work
according to this documentation entry
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/ch03s04.en.html):
Overall install:[E]
Installs seemingly successfully, but shows black screen after login
due to completely exhausted disk space on the root partition. "Avail
0" in df output. I.e. installation process exhausted disk space but
completed installation without an apparent error.
with "qemu-img create -f raw -o size=22G sda.img" works perfectly fine.
