Bug#397068: Re. Closed Bug#394766 (Usbstick preseeding error "Failed to retrieve the preconfiguration file") is not fixed
Package: debian-installer
Version: 20061103

Hi,
I can confirm that the above bug is not fixed in version 20061103 of images taken from
http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/images/daily/hd-media/
I receive similar error messages to this user although I'm using the usb key as the storage point for the preseed.cfg file, location in directory /conf (NOT within the initrd.gz file).
This location is passed as an append attribute in the
syslinux.cfg file (preseed/file=/hd-media/conf/preseed.cfg). I attach both the syslinux.cfg and preseed.cfg files.
The installation is on a Via EPIA MII 1200 pc using a Sandisk MiniCruzer key. Unfortunately, I cannot get easy access to the usb info but I'm willing to help test and proposed fixes.
Please advise.
Regards,
Andrew
