Jessie came in between Wheezy and Stretch, a long time (two years?). There are multiple workarounds for those who skipped over Jessie: 1-Format the installation target using Wheezy or Jessie or old Knoppix or old anything in advance of starting the installer. Formatting is an /optional/ part of the installation process (as is partitioning). 2-As Dan wrote, use EXT3 instead of EXT4 (EXT3 can be converted to EXT4 later if desired. AFAIK, the incompatible options will not automatically be added on conversion.) 3-Format with the Stretch installer, but specify to omit the incompatible EXT4 options. I don't which it/they are, but my guess is the only one that is needed is "-O '^64bit'". All my Wheezys were eliminated around the time its support termination was announced, so no practical way here to test. 4-Use XFS instead of EXT4. 5-Use a newer and/or custom kernel in Wheezy. http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/debian/debian/pool/main/l/ -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.
