"02:29 < kilobyte> reproduced in virtualbox: lots of I/O errors: ata1.00: failed command: WRITE FPDMA QUEUED" As I frequently test Reiser4-enabled unstable Debian-Installers on VirtuaBox 5.0.16 (my latest version), on a frequent basis I come across similar I/O errors: ata related as well as some other idiosyncrasies related to unstable nature of my d-i builds. Wait a few days for the debian-installer component UDEBs to stabilize and work better together --in harmony-- then try your installation again.
