There are kernel images both in base and in d-i. I guess it's one from base you're talking about? It also has to be installed in chroot /target. > > > Problem 3 (minor bug): > > > Bochs' network card can't be auto detected. It emulates an ne2k (looks > > > like it's an isa device).

If you desperately want this, file a bug on anna, it's what installs the udebs.

The /target debconf database is pre-initialized with values from d-i. But it should definitely be 'medium' if you chose medium when configuring cdebconf. However, if you don't remember exactly what you did, some things may very well have been screwed up. :) > Thanks for your reply, I doubted my report was going to get any response, > especially since I miss filed it first.
