Comments/Problems:
I've done a PXE/netboot installation using the 2.6 kernel.
This failed during hardware detection: there were no (zero) ide modules
loaded. Result was no partitions listed in partman as the harddisk is not
recognized.
A 2.4 PXE/netboot installation works fine.
The cause seems to be that no ide udebs (ide-core-modules, ide-modules) are
downloaded from the mirrors during "Load installer components" for 2.6 (tried
both NL and US mirror).
