I'm reporting the exact readout that the system gives me when I run 
uname -a, I don't know anything more than that and I've done nothing to 
the image but burn it.  The error states that it is probably due to a 
mismatch between the kernel the installer uses and the kernel available 
in the archive.  The installer can't see anything that isn't the same 
version as itself.

I'm using the ISO image from the pool, I'm installing from a CD to a raw disk 
on a system that does not have Linux on it.

Can you list the CD contents of pool-alpha/main/l/linux?
I'm using it on the video output of the DS10L I'm trying to set it up on 
(using aboot option 0), I can reboot and run aboot option 1 and copy it 
from the terminal if you need a specific/complete listing.  An example 
is: srm-modules-5.2.0-2-alpha-generic-di_5.2.9-2_alpha.udeb.  The other 
contents are *-modules-5.2.0-2-alpha-generic-di_5.2.9-2_alpha.udeb.

Are you sure about that? I just checked the CD image contents in pool-alpha/
main/l/linux/ and the udebs have the correct version number which is 5.3.9-3.

What kernel version does "uname -a" report? Did you boot your own custom kernel?

Hi!

I just uploaded updated installation images 2019-07-22 for the
following Debian Ports architectures [1]:

  * alpha
  * hppa
  * ia64
  * m68k
  * powerpc
  * ppc64
  * sparc64

debian-installer images for netboot and sh4 can be found in [2].

I have successfully tested the sparc64 image, but not the other images,
so the issue with the kernel module versions mismatch has been fixed.

The images for alpha and ia64 could have issues because of the missing
vim package [3]. Someone needs to have a look at vim on these two
architectures.

That's not going to help at the moment because vim is bd-uninstallable.

The real problem is guile-2.0 and guile-2.2, both of which FTBFS, and
are blocking the building of many other packages.

Cheers
Michael.

Someone needs to fix the testsuite on alpha:

I've noticed I haven't been able to update the "vim" packages for a long
time.  Michael Cree -- if you see this, I think you explained the
problem to me many moons ago.  In any event, there has been a held
update to "vim-common" on alpha for at *least* the past year.  We seem
