Hello, this time the network problem I had above did not show up. However, after exiting the installer there was nothing left in the boot partition (mmc 0:1).
I looked into syslog and it seems a suitable kernel was not found and/or installed: --------------- Sep 1 15:12:50 base-installer: info: kernel linux-image-versatile not usable on kirkwood Sep 1 15:12:50 base-installer: info: kernel linux-image-orion5x not usable on kirkwood Sep 1 15:12:50 base-installer: info: kernel linux-image-ixp4xx not usable on kirkwood Sep 1 15:12:50 base-installer: info: kernel linux-image-iop32x not usable on kirkwood Sep 1 15:12:50 base-installer: info: kernel linux-image-2.6.26-2-versatile not usable on kirkwood Sep 1 15:12:50 base-installer: info: kernel linux-image-2.6.26-2-orion5x not usable on kirkwood Sep 1 15:12:50 base-installer: info: kernel linux-image-2.6.26-2-ixp4xx not usable on kirkwood Sep 1 15:12:50 base-installer: info: kernel linux-image-2.6.26-2-iop32x not usable on kirkwood Sep 1 15:12:50 base-installer: info: kernel linux-image-2.6-versatile not usable on kirkwood Sep 1 15:12:50 base-installer: info: kernel linux-image-2.6-orion5x not usable on kirkwood Sep 1 15:12:50 base-installer: info: kernel linux-image-2.6-ixp4xx not usable on kirkwood Sep 1 15:12:50 base-installer: info: kernel linux-image-2.6-iop32x not usable on kirkwood Sep 1 15:12:50 base-installer: info: Found kernels '' Sep 1 15:13:54 base-installer: info: Not installing any kernel Sep 1 15:13:54 base-installer: info: Installing queued packages into /target/. ----------- Then the flash-kernel process fails: ---- Aug 31 15:43:49 flash-kernel-installer: error: flash-kernel failed Aug 31 15:43:49 main-menu[202]: WARNING **: Configuring 'flash-kernel-installer' failed with error code 1 Aug 31 15:43:49 main-menu[202]: WARNING **: Menu item 'flash-kernel-installer' failed. ---- I checked the syslog for the previous installs and there the kernel was found: ---- Aug 31 13:38:29 localechooser: Generating added locales...
