Bug#445450: debian-installer: Unstable/sid kernel modules do not match kernel version in netboot

Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal

Hash: SHA1

The kernel modules listed in the sid Packages.gz for debian-installer (dists/sid/main/debian-installer/binary-i386/Packages.gz , currently showing 2.6.22-2-486-di) do not match the version of the kernel that's used by the sid netboot image. (dists/sid/main/installer-i386/20070308 \ /images/netboot/debian-installer/i386/linux , currently showing \ 2.6.18-4-486). This makes it virtually impossible to install directly to unstable from a netboot. Installing to stable and then upgrading works, but is not feasible if an internal mirror is used that only has certain versions available (testing and sid, for example).
