Package: debian-installer Severity: normal Hello debian-installer team, During the base system install, I get a menu asking me to choose a kernel (2.4.25 or 2.6.5).
I don't install on a bootable media so I technically don't need a kernel. Unfortunately I was forced to install one, so I picked 2.4.25. The install failed with /usr/sbin/mkinitrd: Cannot determine root device. Failed to create initrd image. (Though I wonder whether the above is not a bug in the kernel package by itself. I am not in a position to test now). At this point I was stuck. I tried to rerun install base system but it did not ask to choose a kernel and ultimately failed the same way. (I manually mounted a loop-device on /target and edit /var/lib/dpkg/status to mark partman installed following a suggestion of joeyh. Installing in a loop-device is supported by boot-floppy.)
