Clearly you have been spot-on. “Partition formatting is in progress, please wait” is displayed considerably longer but eventually succeeds. I tried 3 times successfully with your patch. I tried again without your patch and it failed. I tried once more with your patch and formatting succeeded again. (Install failed due to a loss of network connectivity and restarting is impossible, but that is less important, normally all works.) Regards, Florian
