Thanks for the advice, but I'm still having the same trouble. While the
install console says "Making ext2 filesystem on /dev/sdb6," console F4
reports some errors like what appears below, then the install process seems
to hang. After nothing happened for 10 hours yesterday, I assumed it had
died.
The Error Messages in Console F4:
---------------------------------
<4>SCSI disk error : host 0 channel 0 id 1 lun 0 return code = 40000
<4>scsidisk I/O error: dev 08:16, sector 196632
<4>SCSI disk error : host 0 channel 0 id 1 lun 0 return code = 40000
<4>scsidisk I/O error: dev 08:16, sector 196634
... and so on
