Yes, though that is not that much of a test! I'm unsure if I understand what you mean here. So, maybe there is a problem with the initrd? Maybe with the size of it? (remember that this is a lowmem machine) I think you are right. A typical initramfs would use nearly the whole of your 32MB RAM. It is possible to build a smaller initramfs containing only the drivers needed for the current hardware, but this is not the default because it can fail if you change hardware. If you run the installer with the extra parameter 'priority=medium' you will be given this option. Ok, I will try a new installation and choose the customized initrd. Otavio, perhaps the default value of base-installer/initramfs-tools/driver-policy should be 'dep' on small machines (say, less than 120MB RAM)? Or at least add a hint on that screen, that it is recommended to not choose the full initrd on lowmem systems?

That might have another config? d-i uses the kernel and modules from a regular kernel package, only divided between multiple packages to reduce memory and network usage. So this seems to be a regression between 2.6.32-15 (used in the installer) and 2.6.32-20 (current version in testing on 25th August, and presumably what it installed). Unfortunately I can't see any changes between these versions which might be responsible. Could you try testing the intermediate versions, which should still be available from http://snapshot.debian.org/binary/linux-image-2.6.32-5-486/? Sorry for the delay! I tried the kernel versions 2.6.32-15 to -19 and found them all booting so far. 2.6.32-21 also boots. But I should have to mention, what I'm doing: The system in question is an low memory system, an old Toshiba Satellite laptop, that I only use for here. The laptop has only 32MB of RAM, and because of that I am unable to use the rescue mode of the debian-installer (rescue mode consumes to much RAM since squeeze, this was already reported as #571715). As a result of this, I use the following szenario to test the kernels mentioned above: On my main system, I download the kernel-image.deb Ben pointed me to, and execute dpkg -x kernel-image-.deb unpacked to unpack the deb-package. Then I copy the files in unpacked/boot to an usbstick (that's the files vmlinuz-2.6.32-x, config2.6.32-x and System.map-2.6.32-xx). Then I boot the low-memory machine with a debian-installer cd, go through the installation process so far, until I have the possibility to access the harddisc and the usbstick. Then I copy the three files to /boot on the machine and edit the grub config file, to be able to boot the kernel from the grub-menu. Summary: I have a kernel, but no initrd. And with this constellation, the kernel boots, until he comes to the point where the root filesystem is to be found, what fails: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) But this is not a problem in this case, important is, that the kernel itself boots, right?
