I'm trying to install Debian Testing under Hyper-V Windows Server 2012 R2.

mem: Start-up 1024Mb Dynamic Min 512Mb Max 3584
proc: 2
vhdx: 10Gb

Install it using non-GUI.

Then It freezes during:
   Partitions formatting at 33%
   Creating ext4 file system for / in partition #1 of SCSI3 (0,0,0) (sda)...

Note: I have installed Debian 7/Wheezy 7.11 and 8/Jessie 8.5 on Hyper-V;
          so far no problem on installation with the two versions...

Hi,

Larry Sevilla <sevilla.larry.oss@gmail.com> (2016-06-23):

Please check syslog output on the console and see whether there's
something about kernel/module mismatch (symbol-related errors),
or something else.

Hi Larry,

Larry Sevilla <sevilla.larry.oss@gmail.com> (2016-07-05):

Thanks for following up. This seems like something that should be
reported against the linux kernel.

Dear Maintainer,

I am trying to install Debian 9 in a VM on Hyper-V 2012 R2 as
part of a test lab.

Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad (Q6600)
Memory   : 8 GB
Debian CD: debian-9.3.0-i386-netinst.iso
Installer: non-GUI

Switch to log screen (Alt+F4), then to console (Alt+F2).
Kill running mke2fs process and run manually: fail (stuck @ 33%)

Install using ext3 instead of ext4: fail (stuck @ 33%)

Install Debian 9.3.0 amd64: success
Install Debian 7 i386: success
Install Debian 8 i386: success

Issue seems to be isolated to Debian 9 i386 and independent of
selected filesystem type.

Please note that the automatically generated System Information
in this message reflects the reporting system, not the system on
which installation fails.

Regards,
