Embedded Lenny Install on PowerPC

["Jason Hanna" <jason.m.hanna.at.coincident@gmail.com>]

I'm working on an embedded project - currently trying to install Lenny
on an AMCC PowerPC 405EX evaluation board (Kilauea). Sorry for the
newbie question and let me know if I should be posting somewhere else.

I've got a 2.6.26 kernel cross-compiled (running Lenny AMD64 and ELDK
4.2 on my workstation) and am using U-Boot (v1.3.2) on my evaluation
board. At boot time I've configured U-Boot to download my custom
kernel and FDT blob and NFS mount the root file system. The root file
system is an expansion of the initrd.gz file (from the Lenny Beta 2
installer netboot folder) - including updated modules added by running
'make ... install-modules'.

My embedded system boots and the install procedure begins. Everything
is fine until I reach the 'Download Installer Components' page. I'm
receiving an error message saying:

'No kernel modules were found. This is probably due to a mismatch
between the kernel used by this version of the installer and the
kernel version available in the archive'

I presume this is due to the fact I've compiled my own kernel and the
version strings don't exactly match? There is also a warning logged in
/var/log/syslog from anna[3678] noting 'no packages for kernel in
archive'.

Is there a way to turn up the debugging during install to see what the
actual mismatch is?

Any other suggestions as to resolution or next steps are also welcome.

Thanks,
