These problems are due to the mismatch between the new udeb files in the 6.0.4 point release and the previous 6.0.3 netboot files on my (and your) server. The netboot files needed to be updated. Updating them solved my problem. And now that I have the solution I remember having hit this before with a previous point release some time ago. Here is a quick set of steps to jog the memory of what is needed to update tftp directories. I saved a backup of the previous files. Then downloaded the two architectures I care about here. wget -O netboot-6.0.4-amd64.tar.gz http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz wget -O netboot-6.0.4-i386.tar.gz http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz tar xzf netboot-6.0.4-amd64.tar.gz # debian-installer/amd64/* tar xzf netboot-6.0.4-i386.tar.gz # debian-installer/i386/* Then updated my tftp pxe boot directory with the new versions of those files.
