Bug#549076: live-helper: squeeze/sid debian-installer uses wrong kernel version



Package: live-helper
Version: 1.0.5-2
Severity: normal


When building an i386 (will try amd64 as well, probably fails also)
squeeze/sid live system
with debian installer support, installation fails due to modules not
present for running kernel.
The kernel/initrd installed is the same as lenny installer (2.6.26-2),
although it is downloaded by live-helper from the correct place:

http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-i386/current/images/cdrom/

Using lenny d-i with squeeze/sid live system is not possible due to
squashfs format incompatibility,
(lenny uses 3.0 and squeeze/sid 4.0 version of squashfs tools) so
there's no way to run d-i for other than lenny branch.

The solution seems as simple as synchronizing the image kernel in the
repo with the modules
version already shipped for each branch.
