The curent amd64 is SID, SARGE, TESTION and UNSTABLE

After the release of SARGE (without amd64) the amd64 Architekture has
officially TESTING/ETCH and UNSTABLE/SID but the current debian-installer
will point to SARGE/STABLE which IS a symling to TESTING/ETCH.

 2. If I installed the system from sid-amd64-netinst.iso and want to
use sarge -- do I need to downgrade libc6 or do something else?

NO, it is curently the same.

 3. What is the difference between installations from sarge and sid
netinst iso.

Nothing, it is curently the same for amd64.

 Thanks!

The sid netinst contains sid base debs. Anything going beyond that
depends on where you pointed apt to. By default D-I will put testing
in your sources.list so if you pointed apt to /debian-pure64/ you get
sarge, if you pointed it to /pure64/ you get sid.

 2. If I installed the system from sid-amd64-netinst.iso and want to
use sarge -- do I need to downgrade libc6 or do something else?

Depends on what libc6 you have, which depends on the date you've
gotten the image. You do not have to downgrade libc6 for any reason
but that libc6-dev depends on an equal version of libc6. So when
installing libc6-dev you might have to downgrade libc6 to match,
apt-get will tell you.

 3. What is the difference between installations from sarge and sid
netinst iso.

Hmm, good question. Mount them both and compare. Doing a quick diff
on the Packages file I see 60 differences in versions.

 Thanks!

 PS: Thanks for uploading md5sums.

 I apologize for the mixup:

 Oops: That was actually an error reading the Release file not Packages file 
 as previously here:

 The 18 Feb sarge-amd64-netinst.iso Installer error message said:
 error reading /cdrom/dists//Release 


 I am fairly sure that would be the same as this showing the same type
 of failure:


 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ cat /mnt/iso9660/dists/sarge/Release
 attempt to access beyond end of device
 loop0: rw=0, want=260716, limit=224649
 Buffer I/O error on device loop0, logical block 65178

That was more important. It indicates your iso is to small.

 I took the 18 Feb image downloaded from alioth and mounted that to
 loop iso9660 and found the above. That must be
 the same error as during the CDROM run of the Installer.

 Here is the 18 Feb image that caused the problem:

 2cb2cc2fe9544547dac49d0b8a26dd31  sarge-amd64-netinst.iso

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/archive/install-images$ cat sarge-amd64-netinst.iso.md5sum
530f958e147737a3c9fc372a36a3c233  sarge-amd64-netinst.iso

And this prooves it is corrupt.

Sorry, this is my fault I think. The file on Alioth is 18MB short of
what it should be. Must have missed rsync dying on the upload. I
should add an md5sum check after the upload to my script.

sarge-amd64-netinst.iso

 I burned the 18 feb sarge-amd64-netinst.iso to a CD. When booting the
 CD there was a dialog saying error reading the CDROM after the
 hardware was detected. The vt messages said 'error retrieving file: no
 such file or directory: /cdrom/dists//Packages.

/cdrom/dists//Packages or
/cdrom/dists/sarge/main/debian-installer/binary-amd64/Packages?

 I mounted to iso9660 and looked inside the CDROM and had no
 problems. The Packages file looks garbled inside the new sarge iso
 when easy to read in last weeks sid iso. The Packages file was in the
 /dists/sarge directory on both netinst except there was no error last
 week.

D-I defaults to use sarge and complains if not found. For that reason
even the sid CDs use sarge. I also added links for testing, sid,
unstable to cover all bases.

 I think the Installer can't read the Packages file.

 The 18 feb sarge-amd64-netinst.iso seems broken.

If cat can't read it then it is broken.

I rebuild it and checked the packages files. Only change should be the
D-I image being rebuild overnight.
