Package: netboot
Version: lenny installation netboot image. It was built on 20071027-19:06

Do you need help?

For some reason the current version of netboot for lenny (testing) requires that unstable be available in the Debian repository.

From what I understand any package in a particular version of Debian should only rely on that version's repository.

I keep a local mirror of both etch and lenny. When I try to do a netboot install after "Choose a mirror of the Debian archive" and pointing it to my local http mirror of lenny and select "testing" I get a kernel modules not found. Details below.

"[!!] Download installer components

No kernel modules were found. This is due to a mismatch between the kernel used by this version of the installer and the kernel version available in the archive.

If you're installing from a mirror, you can work around this problem by choosing to install a different version of Debian. The install will probably fail to work if you continue with out kernel modules."

My Apache2 error log reports the following:

"[Sun Oct 28 14:38:00 2007] [error] [client 192.168.xxx.xxx] File does not exist: /var/www/lenny/dists/unstable/non-free/debian-installer"

As you can see from the error the netboot install is try to access the unstable repository.

Do you need more help?

I and using debmirror to mirror the lenny (testing) repository with the default "sections" which includes "main/debian-installer" I've done the same for etch when it was testing and again when it became stable with no problems.

If more information is needed please let me know and I will send it.

The reason is that otherwise Lenny images would have a seriously outdated version of the installer.

Can we help you?

This will be corrected when a first Beta release of the installer is released, which should hopefully be soon now.

As this is not a bug, but a conscious choice of the D-I developers after weighing various alternatives, I am closing your report.

Cheers,
FJP
