Comments/Problems:
The installer couldn't find matching kernel modules from the archive
(I tried several US and NL mirrors) to complete the installation. I
tried the sarge netboot, but it is to old to recognize the hardware
(SATA disks). AMD64 netboot has the same problem. This setup (pxe
netboot install) has worked in the past, so has anything changed
recently? Maybe more care should be taken to ensure the current
netboot image matches the available kernel modules?
