OK, with latest daily build I get some more errors: 1. "No kernel modules were found" dialogue 2. user-setup-udeb loops With 1. the installer seems to be confused. lsmod shows a fair number of modules loaded and the install proceeds via HTTP, so sufficient modules are present. With 2. if I don't preseed, then I'm asked for root p/w, a normal user's full name, username and password (as is normal), but then it loops back to asking for root p/w again. With preseeding, what is the correct entry for root password hash? It used to be passwd passwd/root-password-hash password <value> The new user-setup-udeb seems to have root-password-crypted instead. If so, what's the correct form for preseeding the root hash? > The following mini iso includes a copy of gdb.
