There are debian-installer-6.0-netboot-* packages for this in squeeze now, FWIW. It helps in quite a bunch of cases, just maybe not in yours. (The install server needs to run on squeeze.) ;-) > [1] I don't have the slightest idea why this issue has only surfaced > after 6.0.3 It certainly happens for new kernel ABIs. But yeah, point releases regularly break d-i netboot images because of the way they work. Basically whenever we respin the kernel udebs and then d-i to incorporate new security updates / other misc bugfixes. I wonder what was different here if it didn't happen with .1 or .2 (which both had non-ABI breaking d-i kernel updates). Do you have some sort of failure message? Kind regards Philipp Kern
