Comments/Problems:
After giving in language and keyboard information, the disks are
detected and the installer searches for an image on the installation
media, then gives a blue screen entitled: "Load installer components
from an installer ISO"
"No kernel modules were found. This probably is due to a mismatch
between the kernel used..." etc.
The USB stick was prepared according to
http://www.debian.org/releases/squeeze/amd64/ch04s03.html.en using
4.3.1 Copying the files -- the easy way:
"For this installation method you will also need to download a CD
image. The installation image and the CD image must be based on the
same release of debian-installer. If they do not match you are likely
to get errors[4] during the installation."
-------
[4] The error message that is most likely to be displayed is that no
kernel modules can be found. This means that the version of the kernel
module udebs included on the CD image is different from the version of
the running kernel.
If the installation image and the CD image linked from the same page
do not match, I don't know how to make sure they match. This is
perhaps a mis-coordination in the daily builds or in the links
provided on http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/
It failed the same way with the businesscard image:
