Comment 1 Marja Van Waes 2017-04-21 15:34:20 CEST 
Is this with classical installer?

If so, please 
* reproduce the issue, 
* switch to tty2 with Crtrl+Alt+F2
* insert another USB key
* type 

        bug

* attach report.bug that's written to that USB key to this bug report.



If this is with Live installer, then, when this happens, run as root:

   journalctl -a > journal.txt

and attach journal.txt to this report.


Please compress with xz if the file is too large to attach.
