Bug#341286: mismatch between the kernel used by installer and included in the archive

2005-11-29 Thread Jeffrey Hundstad

Package: installation
Severity: grave
Tags: d-i, sid

Here's the total log of installation:

1. put cd-rom '20051128 sid - fsn.hu unofficial i386 Binary-1' in drive

2. boot

3. Press enter to take default install options

4. Choose English

5. Choose United States

6. Choose American English

(okay at this point all I've done is hit the Enter key taking defaults.  
The next screen is:


=
[!!] Load installer components from CD

No kernel modules were found.  This probably is due to a mismatch 
between the kernel used by this version of the installer and the kernel 
version available in the archive.


If you're installing from a mirror, you can work around this problem by 
choosing to install a different version of Debian.  The install will 
probably fail to work if you continue without kernel modules.


continue the install without loading kernel modules?

Go Back   Yes  No
=

At this point I'm stumped.  I'll give a more meaningfully report if 
someone can tell me what would be helpful.


This isn't a new problem as far as I can tell.  Several versions in the 
last few weeks also give the same error.  Since I can't find older 
versions I can't tell you if this ever worked.

Please let us know the full URL including filename of the image you used 
for the installation.

In general the problem you see occurs on network or floppy based 
installations and not CD based installations. For CDs the problem cannot 
really occur, unless maybe there are problems reading it.
Can you see anything in the logs to indicate this (switch to VT2 and check 
the output of 'dmesg' and contents (using nano) of /var/log/syslog)?

Thanks.
