Version: 2004-02-17
During the install of the base system (unstable), using the daily
snapshot installer (netboot), on an IBM ThinkCentre 8191 (P4 Celeron-2G)
installation fails during the kernel install. I assume that this is
linked to the fact that the machine has been net booted.

You are attempting to install a kernel version that is the same as
the version you are currently running (version 2.4.24-1-386). The modules
list is quite likely to have been changed, and the modules dependency
file /lib/modules/2.4.24-1-386/modules.dep needs to be re-built. It can
not be built correctly right now, since the module list for the
running kernel are likely to be different from the kernel installed.
I am creating a new modules.dep file, but that may not be
correct. It shall be regenerated correctly at next reboot.
I repeat: you have to reboot in order for the modules file to be
created correctly. Until you reboot, it may be impossible to load
some modules. Reboot as soon as this install is finished (Do not
reboot right now, since you may not be able to boot back up until
installation is over, but boot immediately after). I can not stress
that too much. You need to reboot soon.
Please Hit return to continue. /usr/sbin/mkinitrd: Cannot determine
root device

Hello, a while ago you reported a problem with the Debian Installer. I
think that your problem is fixed in the just released beta 3 of the
installer. If you're still able to install to the hardware you tried it on,
please download it from http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/, and
try it again. Feel free to file another installation report.
A few of the new features of beta 3 include:
- new easy to use partitioner that supports automatic partitioning and LVM
- grub as the default boot loader on i386
- wireless networking support
- 2.4.25 kernel, with SATA support and security fixes
- support for the XFS filesystem
Note that your original installation report may have been split up into
multiple individual bug reports. If so this message closes only one bug,
and not other issues you reported.
