In my preseed file, I have the following line:
bootstrap-base base-installer/kernel/image none
According to the guide, the installer *shouldn't* install any kernel
images. However, it does.
http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.mips/apbs04.html#preseed-base-installer
says
|# The kernel image (meta) package to be installed; "none" can be used if
|# no
|# kernel is to be installed.
|#d-i base-installer/kernel/image string linux-image-2.6-486
bugreporter preseed file should have the line
|d-i base-installer/kernel/image string none
(without the | character)
Notice 'd-i' versus the wrong 'bootstrap-base'
and 'string' added.
Bug?
Yes. At least in the preseed file of the submitter of this bugreport.
Ronald:
How did you come up with the (wrong) line
|bootstrap-base base-installer/kernel/image none
?
I'm asking because I assume there might be debian-installer documentation
that needs love.

I made that line out of cdebconf configration files inside /var/log:
snip>>>
Name: base-installer/kernel/image
Template: base-installer/kernel/image
Value: linux-image-2.6-486
Owners: unknown, bootstrap-base
Variables:
ID = base-installer/kernel/image
KERNELS =
linux-image-2.6-486,linux-image-2.6-686,linux-image-2.6.24-1-486,linux-image-2.6.24-1-686
<<<snip
However, I always found this was rather conflicting because the
documentation said that the syntax was like:
<owner> <option> <value>
So I thought of this line:
bootstrap-base base-installer/kernel/image none
The documentation reported it like this (as you said):
d-i base-installer/kernel/image none
But I know examples (one from java if I'm correctly) that if I use d-i
as owner, that won't work. Furthermore,
Owners: unknown, bootstrap-base
Does *not* list d-i (rather confusing if you ask me).
I will try to use d-i as owner instead of bootstrap-base the next time
(and remove the quotes from none). Thank you =)
