problems with d-i,(no kernel packages in the archive.)
Hi all,
i am a newbie in the d-i field.i got problem when i have tried local network installation.
I used PXE net booting and my PC can boot from the network.I am keeping a local customized repository
from where i tried to install.There are no issues when i am selecting official debian repository but the errors are coming when i am using my local customized repository.
i am using a preseed file and after selecting the suite and code name it starts downloading the initial components but then it is showing "
there are no kernel packages in the archive" and coming up with a screen with some modules listed but after selecting those kernel modules it is not solving my problem.
1) I am keeping the
debian unstable repository exactly in the same order.
2) in my preseed file do i need to mention what version of kernel i want to load or it will ask me.If it is then what would be the correct d-i line as didn't find any suitable line in the manual.
3) I am mentioning the d-i lines in my preseed file..

4) am i missing something in the preseed file..? I suppose if i don't mention something in the preseed file then d-i will ask that in the installation time.
Sorry,for such a long mail....please help,any comments or suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanking all,
Pahari.
