Just this weekend, I installed with no difficulties the 
then current version of 'initrd.gz' and 'linux' from joeyh's location.

http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/images/daily/netboot/debian-installer/i386/2.6/

I got there from the D-I home,

http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ 

following the link 'Weitere Boot-Images' ('other boot images') to 

http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ports-status

and then the i386 + netboot + daily_build link to

http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/images/daily/netboot/debian-installer/i386/2.6/

My system is a quite standard IDE system with K7.
