Hi everyone,
I'm trying to setup an automated install environment based on Squeeze.

I'm using the PXE boot environment available here, and fetching a preseed
file off a local http server.

The installer reads the preseed.cfg from the server and tries to download
files from my local mirror.

The installer stops and complains that the specified mirror doesn't support
squeeze. There's some debugging output in the syslog:

DEBUG: command: wget -q
http://my-mirror-server/apt/debian/dists/squeeze/Release -O - | grep -E
'^(Suite|Codename):'

If I run this command from another machine on the LAN I get output from grep
showing "Codename:squeeze", so its clear to me there's something
misconfigured or broken in d-i.

Eventually, after trying to retrieve the release file from a few different
directories the log shows the final error:

WARNING **: mirror does not support the specified release (squeeze)

I saw there was a RFC on the patch that added this error message on this
mailing list about a year ago:
http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-boot@lists.debian.org/msg113160.html

Can Frans or anyone shed some light on this issue?
