Hello debian-installer team,
During the base system install, I get a menu asking me to choose
a kernel (2.4.25 or 2.6.5).
I don't install on a bootable media so I technically don't need a kernel.
Unfortunately I was forced to install one, so I picked 2.4.25.
The install failed with
/usr/sbin/mkinitrd: Cannot determine root device.
Failed to create initrd image.
(Though I wonder whether the above is not a bug in the kernel package
by itself. I am not in a position to test now).
At this point I was stuck. I tried to rerun install base system but it
did not ask to choose a kernel and ultimately failed the same way.
(I manually mounted a loop-device on /target and edit
/var/lib/dpkg/status to mark partman installed following a suggestion
of joeyh. Installing in a loop-device is supported by boot-floppy.)
Cheers,
--
Bill. <ballombe@debian.org>
Imagine a large red swirl here.

Description:
base-installer - Install the base system (udeb)
Closes: 247765 304802
Changes:
base-installer (1.25) unstable; urgency=low
.
[ Colin Watson ]
* Make failed-initrd-tools-install template a little more generic, for
future expansion (e.g. initramfs-tools).
.
[ Sven Luther ]
* Upgraded powerpc kernel choser to handle powerpc64 case, 2.6.12 kernels
and the linux-image* rename. I guess we should support pseudo packages
now, and the current code breaks because abi-names where introduced.
Since we are no longer supporting 2.4 powerpc kernels, this should go
also.
.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Remove unused base-installer/kernel/no-kernel template.
* Support installing no kernel at all if the user doesn't want one.
Closes: #304802, #247765
* Support ADS arm boards by installing no kernel, since no usable kernel is
in Debian for them yet.
* Add a test case for an ADS VGX board.
* Update test suite to not fail powerpc after Sven's changes above.
