What image exactly? Alioth does not have a May 19th businesscard image so I'm a bit confused.

That would imply you have a dpkg prior to amd64 support (which would not even build for amd64).

No, after the kill mkinitrd is bound to fail horribly. Ignore everything past the kill. > If I do not use a RAID root partition, the system installs fine. Huh? Having root as raid or not changes the dpkg capabilities? Sorry for the disbelieve but this would be one freakish bug. If I weren't using raid5 myself (not for / though) I would assume raid5 was broken and caused file corruption or something. > System specs are: > > Tyan Dual AMD M/B > 2x Opteron 250 CPUs > SATA HDDs > > Anyone got any ideas? No ideas apart from being speachless. Doesn't look like an straight forward bug and fix. > Thanks > > Ashley MfG Goswin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
