This is because apt-install initrd-tools is called before kernel installation and this package is missing from the cdrom.
I wanted to correct this bug, but found no quick solution: Currently this is controlled by debian-installer/kernel/linux/initrd template in rootskel. This allows for a per arch default setting. The current powerpc kernels do not need an initrd, but there is a package underway (kernel-image-2.4.22-powerpc-pmac-small) which will need an initrd for booting. So there is no general rule wether to install these tools or not. Since all kernel-image packages which need an initrd for booting should depend on initrd-tools anyway I suggest to remove the apt-install call. debian-installer/kernel/linux/initrd should only be used as a default for the kernel-image postinst warning, because this is what it is about (according to the description) and not to determine if an initrd is actually needed. Any objections against removing this apt-install call? gaudenz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
