Re: boot failure: default kernel without ELF support



hi there,

Well there's something i can't get or something about all those available releases

i have now tested de netinst solution (downloaded mini.iso for cdimages) all installs perfect,
i've tested with 2 available kernels : 2.6.12-1-amd64-k8 and 2.6.2-amd64-k8 ,,,,, the problem remains

so, like you will do with a newbie please tell me what are the cdimages mirrors uptodate for netinst releases :)

thanks anyone for your efforts.
cheers

Jose.
