Package: debian-installer
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


Hi,

Yesterday I installed an opteron at work. This opteron must run in a 32 bits
environnement (binary compatibility issue). I downloaded d-i daily build 
(03 oct 06) and d-i rc3 with 2.6 kernel. Once the initrd expended at boot 
time, nothing happened. Hence an Opteron cannot be installed with 2.6 i386 
kernels.

To fix this issue I installed an image with a 2.4 kernel (i386 d-i rc3 2.4 and 
sarge installer) and booting went well.

I do not know if this issue was known or not. Feel free to downgrade the severity 
if you belive that it should not be RC. However, I guess that our users might 
want to install debian 32 bits on an Opteron

Cheers,

* no error message

  (highly doubt that d-i initrd fails on any opteron)
