I am using Lenny with a standard Lenny kernel.

$ uname -a
Linux hostname 2.6.26-2-xen-amd64 #1 SMP Wed Mar 10 00:29:48 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Should this bug be reassigned then?

Unfortunately that work-around does not work for me.

        $ ls -l /tmp/{vmlinuz,initrd.gz}
        -rw-r--r-- 1 user user 17859729 2010-08-10 10:05 /tmp/initrd.gz

        command line is "debian-installer/exit/always_halt=true -- quiet console=hvc0"
        Error: Kernel image does not exist: /tmp/vmlinuz

Do you have any ideas?


Thanks,
