If you'll try again with the next daily build made after this message,
that should not be necessary, although it's possible my change could

This is a kernel bug, I'll reassign it to the kernel.

Is there another place where I can get the images?
cause from 2005-03-24 only net-drivers.img is available and not root.img and

this is from http://people.debian.org/~stappers/d-i/images/
