Hello Philip,

Could you check the md5sum of the image you have tested is one of the
the last two release listed below.
What CPU and kernel do you use?


I have tested two images "debian-50-amd64-i386-BC-1.iso", with kvm on
lenny-i386-on-i386-cpu and lenny-amd64-on-intel-core-2-duo:

  (bug: duplicate default install in text.cfg)

2008-11-18 11:00 / 288d4aae033ecf74579d77647f411e04
  (The one which properly uses ifcpu64.c32)

Thanks,

Franklin
