[arch-general] talkingarch problems formatting partitions

[Don Raikes]

Hi,

I downloaded the talkingarch-20140203-dual.iso yesterday and want to install it onto my desktop system.

 

I booted into the talkingarchlinux system no problems, and used parted to create the partitions on my hard disk.

 

When I go to format the partitions, as soon as I enter the command:

 

# mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sda1

 

The entire system locks up. I have to do a hard reboot of the system to get anything working again.

 

Any idea why this might be happening?
