Formatting of DASD disks always stops at 9% during installation

The problem fix description is as follows:
dasd-config: always list available DASDs for selection and configuration
Previously, the DASD configuration module prompted the user to specify
DASDs if there were more than 20 DASDs available. If this dialog is
shown, the user can configure DASD devices; but can only return to the
installer through the <Go Back> button. The <Go Back> triggers a special
debconf return code and the "hardware-detection" dependency for this is
not satisfied. Later the partitioner will complain and the intermediate
configuration file might not be copied to the target system.
The second disadvantage with prompt is that the user does not see which
DASDs are already online and configured. See also Debian bug 666399 for
more details.
This commit removes the prompt to manually type DASDs. The panel to
select particular DASDs is displayed instead.
Of course, there can be the case where LPARs have access to (almost)
every device. For this case, the solution is to use the "cio_ignore"
kernel parameter. With this kernel parameter you can control the
devices that are visible to the Linux instance.
For example,
cio_ignore=all,!ipldev,!condev,!0.0.da00-0.0.da10
ignores all devices except the console device, the IPL device, and the
range of devices from 0.0.da00 to 0.0.da10 that might be DASDs or any
other devices. Note that you can change the cio_ignore settings at
runtime, so you can later make additional devices visible.
With this solution, there is no hardcoded limit necessary and the user
can still see the list of DASDs to be configured.
