Would this be true even though I'm using the packages directory from the svn (including the kernel) tagged for rc2? I thought that the whole kit and kaboodle was in svn, not just the installer source.
I decided to try building rc2 because the sarge branch as of the 18th is giving me trouble ('unable to find partitionable media' on a drive that I can mount from the shell, and I can't fdisk because it's not included). Any thoughts on what's going on there?Probably a kernel version mismatch.
Hrmph. I build d-i from svn sources to avoid this type of problem. If subversion isn't keeping a snapshot of d-i, including udebs, I'm not sure what to do about making sure I get a working version.
