etch-n-half netboot problems
Hello!
I'm using preseeding over network(PXE). Recently I've upgraded my
environment to etch-n-half in order to get benefits of recent kernel
packages in etch-n-half(2.6.24).
I've downloaded images following the link at this page:
http://www.debian.org/releases/etch/debian-installer/etchnhalf
I've i386 initrd.gz/linux from
http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/i386/
I've amd64 initrd.gz/linux from
http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/amd64/
In order to install etch I've added "suite=etch" to my pxelinux's APPEND option.
I believe that the images I've used are latest available netboot
images for etch-n-half, is this correct?
The problem is that thing tries to grab "lenny/Release" file over
network each time I install etch-n-half. And that is actually a
problem since what I'm trying to do is to use either
debian-40r4a-etchnhalf-amd64-netinst.iso or
debian-40r4a-amd64-DVD-1.iso to provide my netboot environment with
packages. I'm mounting those isos on a host machine with PXE stack and
share them through Apache. But installation can't proceed because
those isos actually doesn't have those dists/lenny/Release and
dists/lenny/Release.gpg. I've tried installing from a regular CD using
debian-40r4a-etchnhalf-amd64-netinst.iso and that doesn't seem to try
to grab those files and installation can proceed without any network
connections.
Is there a way to fix it?
