Package: debian-installer (udebs?)
Version: netinstall as of 06-14-2005
Background: automated debian-installer based netinstall on amd64.
Hunch: something on a mirror having to do with the
debian-installer has changed.
I have about 400 CPUs, AMD Opterons which were able to install
using the netboot.tar.gz debian-installer up until a few days ago.
Netinstalls were working fine up until a few days ago. Normally
the install would finish and the system installed and working.
I've verified that this happens against my local mirror, and also
against the amd64.debian.net mirror.
I've installed the newest kernel: 'linux' and 'initrd.gz' from
the netboot.tar.gz
(found here
http://amd64.debian.net/debian-installer/2005-06-13/netboot/ )
with the same issue.
A few screenshots of vt1, vt2 and vt3.

http://www.nirvani.net/tmp/deberror2.png
http://www.nirvani.net/tmp/deberror3.png
Canceling out of this stage of the installer brings us back to the
main menu with "Install the base system" selected.

Distro: sarge, etch and sid. The same redscreen happens on any
distro at the moment.
roerich on #debian-amd64 suggested to file this report.

It appears you are using the daily builds of the installer. Currently a=20
lot of heavy development is being done in unstable on basic packages like=20
debootstrap and dpkg to get these ready for etch. The installer has to=20
follow these changes but making the necessary changes may take some time.
The result is that the daily builds and/or installations of etch/sid may=20
frequently be broken in some way or another over the next period and will=20
stabilize again after that.
If you want a stable installer, at this moment you should use the official=
=20
version released with Sarge.
As the cause of the breakage is known and there is little point in=20
tracking individual issues, I am closing your report.
Cheers,
