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).

Installing Sid (unstable) using the Etch version of the Debian Installer is not supported. Please use one of the daily built or weekly built images instead. All of these are available from:
