AMD64 Jigdo download
Before I delve too far into the problem I thought I'd just venture a
quick post to see if there is a known problem with the Debian AMD64
Jigdo files that are listed at:
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/sarge-amd64/jigdo-cd/
I need to update my ISO in order to install onto a new motherboard that
has a nVidia nForce 430 chipset on it. I am hoping that the info on the
nVidia site is accurate in that they are now in the kernel tree
(including for AMD64!) so that I can manage the install (the main issue
is that I need to install onto RAID, so need the sata-nv driver
available at install time (I can work around the lack of the NIC drivers
as I have a second NIC installed).
Anyway, when I download using Jigdo I get 211 files that aren't
available. I have manually ftp'd in and confirmed that they are not
(well one or two) on the UK, ticklers and main .org ftp sites. My
suspicion is that they've not been kept as up to date as the ftp site
since one of the files (kernel headers iirc - sorry not at the correct
machine at present) has a more up to date version that the one it is
trying to download.
If it is relevant I can supply more details, but didn't feel it worth
doing at this early 'quick check' stage.
