Hi,
I'm trying to setup a PXE with netboot install of squeeze for some HP hardware that uses broadcom 10G cards.
Those broadcom cards are only correctly detected with the 3.2 kernel from the backports (and with an additional non-free driver).
In order to do a netboot install I need debian-install to use a 3.2 kernel instead of the regular 2.6.32.
I tried to adapt this
https://developer.rackspace.com/blog/using-a-custom-kernel-with-cloud-servers/ but had no chance so far because the following packages do not exist in squeeze-backports

So I am wondering if it is possible to build the debian-installer with the 3.2 kernel.
Regards.
