Hi Martin I tried a build of the installer from trunk (revision 45431) and nearly fell of my chair:
--- [!!] Install the base system Unable to install initramfs-tools An error was returned while trying to install the initramfs-tools package onto the target system. Check /var/log/syslog or see virtual console 4 for the details. --- Needless to say that this problem did not occur when I tested my changes to oldsys-preseed on Sunday night. The notable difference in the build since Sunday night is the new kernel 2.6.18.dfsg.1-11 and associated udebs. However, the problem does not seem to be due to apt seg faulting. ~ # chroot /target sh-3.1# apt-get -f install Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree...
