Package: netboot
Version: lenny installation netboot image.
It was built on 20071027-19:06
Severity: normal
- --- Please enter the report below this line. ---
For some reason the current version of netboot for lenny (testing)
requires that unstable be available in the Debian repository.
- From what I understand any package in a particular version of Debian
should only rely on that version's repository.
I keep a local mirror of both etch and lenny. When I try to do a netboot
install after "Choose a mirror of the Debian archive" and pointing it to
my local http mirror of lenny and select "testing" I get a kernel
modules not found. Details below.
"[!!] Download installer components
No kernel modules were found. This is due to a mismatch between the
kernel used by this version of the installer and the kernel version
available in the archive.
If you're installing from a mirror, you can work around this problem by
choosing to install a different version of Debian. The install will
probably fail to work if you continue with out kernel modules."
My Apache2 error log reports the following:
"[Sun Oct 28 14:38:00 2007] [error] [client 192.168.xxx.xxx] File does
not exist: /var/www/lenny/dists/unstable/non-free/debian-installer"
As you can see from the error the netboot install is try to access the
unstable repository.
I and using debmirror to mirror the lenny (testing) repository with the
default "sections" which includes "main/debian-installer" I've done the
same for etch when it was testing and again when it became stable with
no problems.
If more information is needed please let me know and I will send it.

The reason is that otherwise Lenny images would have a seriously outdated
version of the installer.

This will be corrected when a first Beta release of the installer is
released, which should hopefully be soon now.
As this is not a bug, but a conscious choice of the D-I developers after
weighing various alternatives, I am closing your report.
Cheers,
FJP
