Comments/Problems:
Booting from the cd-rom, I type "linux26" to have this kernel. All work fine when cames the apt installation. I define source from http mirror Then problem arise. The apt decide to remove inird and the current kernel-2.6.8-2-386. It doesn't provide another kernel. I say Yes to remove (to try and see what come next). Then the installer fail to popup and let me choose package, telling me their is a problem in the package. I retry twice to get the install manager but no. I go to finish install and after some confirm, the prompt appear. I log as a user and make su to become root then I launch reboot. Grub came but it don't know what to do (there is no more kernel to launch).

I already seen this problem. Here it's how it came. I used the same Cd-rom but at this time all work fine. I logged as root and continue my installation. Provide apache2 and nagios-text. But finally, I decide to purge nagios-text and apache2. When I purge apache2, the kernel-2.6.?.386 and initrd was set to be removed (this time I say no). Each time, I use aptitude, It try to remose this two (their are set to be removed in thier statut). So, I decide to erase all my partition and the first description is this part.

I see that, initrd seem no longer in use with the debian 4.0 and replaced by other but why my machine is killed ? I don't understand why initrd and the kernel is removed if nothing replace them.

Best regard

Tony

We can no longer support sarge installations now that etch is stable.
Please download a CD for Debian 4.0 and install that instead.
