Hi all! I am trying to do an FAI installation. My problem is that no packages are installed onto the target system (not even a kernel), which makes it hard to use to say the least.
Looking at my fai.log, ... --- SNIP --- Err http://ftp.debian.org lenny/main Packages 404 Not Found Err http://ftp.debian.org lenny/contrib Packages 404 Not Found Err http://ftp.debian.org lenny/non-free Packages 404 Not Found Fetched 232kB in 0s (235kB/s) W: Failed to fetch http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found W: Failed to fetch http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/contrib/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found W: Failed to fetch http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/non-free/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. --- SNIP --- Interesting enough, http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/binary-i386/Packages indeed does not exist; just http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz does. A bit later, this seems to result in --- SNIP --- Reading task descriptions... Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "linux-image-486" Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "memtest86" No candidate version found for grub Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "fai-client" Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "cfengine2" --- SNIP --- So the system is unable to fetch the kernel and also a couple of important other packages. Any ideas what setting is responsible for making apt-get look for the Packages file instead of Packages.gz on the mirror? Regards, Torsten
