I would guess that 99.9% of all machines running Debian have got an USB device.The usb modules are known to crash various machines, especially if you load the wrong one.There are no *.o or *.ko files on netinst.iso. But even if there are, who said that the kernel on the iso matches the kernel in boot.img.gz?They're in udebs, and these things need to be kept in sync.
If boot.img.gz and netinst.iso belong so close together, then they should be built each night in parallel, using the same sources.list. Currently boot.img.gz for i386 is based upon 2.6.5-1-386(!!!), while the netinst.iso contains 2.6.7-1-386. The di-installer sources I've found were using kernel 2.6.6. Is there a newer CVS snapshot for somewhere? I would like to help, if I can. Regards Harri
