Comments/Problems:

During "Install base system" the installer tries to retrieve libgnutls10 but
failed. I notice also that some modules before were unvailable :
8139too (for my ethernet card Realtek RTL8139/810X)
ide-scsi

And in the saved log (syslog) I see other modules missing :
ide-mod
ide-probe-mod
ide-prob-mod
ide-detect
ide-floppy
ide-scsi

I also found in this log packages missing :
cdebconf-udeb
libc6
libdebconfclient0
hw-detect
kernel-image-2.6.5-1-386-di  !!??
reiserfsprogs-udeb
libiw27
scsi-core-modules-2.6.5-1-386-di
cdrom-core-modules-2.6.5-1-386-di

And the error code :
Configuring 'base-installer' failed with error code 30

I try then with the kernel 2.4.25-1-386 and all works well.

thanks.
