Comments/Problems:
It nearly completed base-install, but failed installing a kernel because
it was trying to install initrd-tools for some reason.
As you can see below, it chose to install linux-image-2.6-mckinley-smp,
which depends upon linux-image-2.6.16-2-mckinley-smp.

Description:
base-installer - Install the base system (udeb)
Closes: 383557
Changes:
base-installer (1.66) unstable; urgency=low
.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Clean up apt.conf settings code; stop using apt.conf and use
apt.conf.d for 00trustcdrom.
.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Activate initramfs for IA64. Closes: #383557.
* Various changes in kernel selection for i386/amd64:
- no longer support SMP in defaults as this is no longer needed with
smp-alternatives enabled for 2.6.17 and this never worked anyway
- remove smp specific tests in kernel selection testsuite
- i386: speakup kernel was 2.4 only, so no longer supported
- amd64: add support for new generic -amd64 flavor
* Add Lintian override for standards-version.
