Comments/Problems:

Upon installation of the base-system, when setting up
kernel-image-2.4.25-1-386_2.4.25_i386.deb:
depmod: can't handle sections of type 1869640280
/lib/modules/kernel-2.4.25-1-386/kernel/drivers/parport/parport_pc.o
then a plethora of unresolved symbols warnings follows and of course the
installation fails miserably.
