Comments/Problems:
I followed the instructions on how to get the USB stick to work. It
booted alright, I could select languages and regions and stuff, but then
the installer started to search for ISO images in all kinds of places
and then told me that it couldn't find the kernel modules. From then on
I got a red screen background no matter what I tried.
I've been with Debian since Slink and have done dozens of installs, but
this is the first time I tried an USB stick.
I got the boot.img.gz from
ftp://ftp.debian.de/debian/dists/etch/main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/boot.img.gz
This is what is on my USB stick:
dh@kir:~$ ls -l /media/usbstick/

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful
The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet.
In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.
You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.
If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.
Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
