I was not able to reproduce this, but I think I've worked out what has happened. The clue is in the /var/log/debian-installer/cdebconf/questions.dat. Name: mirror/suite Template: mirror/suite Owners: d-i Name: debian-installer/kernel/commandline Template: debian-installer/kernel/commandline Owners: d-i As you can see, these entries have NO VALUES! The fact that mirror/suite is unset, could well explain apt-config's choose-mirror defaulting to sarge. And I know that debian-installer/kernel/commandline must have been set correctly during 1st stage as my zipl.conf was set up correctly. Name: debian-installer/main-menu Template: debian-installer/main-menu Value: Continue installation remotely using SSH Owners: d-i Variables: <deleted> This looks like the last menu item to be activated was "Continue installation remotely using SSH"! This leads me to the conclusion that _not_ the cdebconf values from the SSH session, but the values from the original console version got 'saved' to /target and used during base-config. Conclusion is that it is very dangerous to leave two debian-installer processes running at the same time! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
