First, accept my apology for getting the version wrong. I've been thinking too much of d-i. It is actually original woody. Second, I agree with you that it should default to installing the same version of the kernel I chose to install with. My install kernel is debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/3.0.23-2002-05-21/bf2.4/tftpboot.img which I have verified by md5summing all the tftpboot.img files I have in debian/... and the one in /tftboot. Consequently, I think the fact it installs a 2.2 kernel is wrong. Third, I've tried various incantations for getting the correct files. It's just informed me it wants images-1.44/rescue.bin and drivers.tgz. I'm looking at CD1: [EMAIL PROTECTED] httpd]# locate /var/ftp/pub/linux/mnt/cdrom/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/3.0.23-2002-05-21 | egrep 'drivers.tgz|images-1.44/rescue.bin' /var/ftp/pub/linux/mnt/cdrom/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/3.0.23-2002-05-21/bf2.4/drivers.tgz /var/ftp/pub/linux/mnt/cdrom/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/3.0.23-2002-05-21/compact/drivers.tgz /var/ftp/pub/linux/mnt/cdrom/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/3.0.23-2002-05-21/drivers.tgz /var/ftp/pub/linux/mnt/cdrom/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/3.0.23-2002-05-21/idepci/drivers.tgz /var/ftp/pub/linux/mnt/cdrom/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/3.0.23-2002-05-21/images-1.44/rescue.bin [EMAIL PROTECTED] httpd]# I don't see where it could possibly get a 2.4 kernel using those names, and I cannot override them. From the list above, the only possibilities are dists/woody/main/disks-i386/3.0.23-2002-05-21/images-1.44/rescue.bin and dists/woody/main/disks-i386/3.0.23-2002-05-21/drivers.tgz, and I'm fairy sure those are 2.2. My install is at this point. I'll kill the install at this point as it cannot procede, and save the log.

It will be available on request. btw Since I'm using PXE and tftp to get the kernel, I think offering to get drivers & kernel by tftp would be a Good Thing. It happens that in my case, you have all the info you need. I've configured pxelinux to pass ip=... in the same format the kernel expects, and etherboot can do that too. > Your message dated Thu, 20 Mar 2003 21:46:08 +0100 > with message-id <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > and subject line Bug#185420: boot-floppies - bad kernel choice > has caused the attached Bug report to be marked as done. > > This means that you claim that the problem has been dealt with. > If this is not the case it is now your responsibility to reopen the > Bug report if necessary, and/or fix the problem forthwith. > > (NB: If you are a system administrator and have no idea what I am > talking about this indicates a serious mail system misconfiguration > somewhere.
