retitle 969224 Archive main/installer-*/current/ has outdated kernels?
severity 969224 normal
thanks
Hi,
So the real problem is that the archive seems outdated w.r.t. DVD images.
The DVD images themselves are consistent (since you report they work
fine).
I'm doing customized usb sticks regularly, e.g. putting i386 and amd64
installer DVD iso's plus several Live systems onto one big usb stick, with
bootloader options to choose between them.
So I've bumped into this exact issue before, and I learned to always get
everything from the same source. Specifically, get kernel and initrd
directly from the .iso file that you use, by mounting it (-o loop), or
extract them using isoinfo command (hint: -R option), or probably 7z will
work too. While you're there, also study what the "official" bootloader is
passing to the kernel commandline, and do something similar in your own
bootloader config.
Best regards,
Anne Bezemer

I think the problem is that the kernel versions for DVD and
installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/ or
installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/gtk/
ÿÿ initrd.gz
for Debian 10.4 and Debian 10.5
don't match.

4.19.0-10 - the kernel versions for DVD

For Debian 10.3 everything was established without problems.
