The netboot image as well as all amd64 boot images use kernel 2.6.8 so I'm not able to even install debian on this machine. I have the feeling, that the netboot installer requires a kernel compiled for amd64 (i.e. not for i386) and as the other machine I have at hand is a P4, this would mean crosscompiling, which is a thing I would rather not do (if you understand what I mean), but maybe I am wrong in my assumptions. As someone in post has already pointed out a 2.6.11 kernel in the installation images would do good. juraj > > /Jacob > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) > Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org > > iD8DBQFCTavtiAWIAI3xXVYRAggnAJ0U0sY2uoEcoq4qT+XB7gwwNOZPNgCaAmDO > yMvWZ9rRfEGdfh2x0XqPxpM= > =kC4l > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
