Re: sarge-amd64-netinst.iso broken??

[Ahmed El Zein <zein@gawab.com>]

I tried all the kernels (2 + 2recovery) in the menu they all gave me the 
same panic message
I also tried to install on an IDE HDD the boot went further but also 
died before completing the boot!!

I successfully installed sid useing a sid-amd64-netboot.iso image from 
the same location!! so it must be something wrong with the sarge cd!
