Comments/Problems:
After I chose the mirror (whatever the mirror), the installer complains that it cannot find kernel modules in the archive. It gives the following message:
No kernel modules were found. This probably is due to a mismatch between the kernel used by this version of the installer and the kernel version available in the archive.
If you're installing from a mirror, you can work around this problem by choosing to install a different version of Debian. The install will probably fail to work if you continue without kernel modules.
Continue the install without loading kernel modules?
<Go Back> <Yes> <No>
I need the RAID modules which are not included in the ramdisk, so the install does not work for me.
Note that it worked last week. The archive seems to have been updated yesterday but the kernel images were built on October 2. I guess the images just need to be rebuilt against the current archive.
