Sounds to me like it's not getting a list of packages from debootstrap for amd64, and so it looks to it like the CD has the base system on it even though it has no debs. This is because debootstrap now resolves deps by default; the place in debian-cd that runs debootstrap to get the list of packages in base doesn't specify a mirror, so debootstrap uses a default (which is a lot of unncessary network activity too), and that default mirror doesn't have amd64 on it. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Turns out that the AMD64 businesscard CD images incorrectly contains the file .disk/base_installable, which of course is wrong. This makes the installer incorrectly think it can install the base system off the CD. This file is added in debian-cd's Makefile, so this is clearly a debian-cd problem, although the logic to determine if it should be there uses debootstrap. It is very likely this issue is related to the bug for the AMD64 netinst (#335653) where required packages really are missing from the CD. pgpztVW7UiDuA.pgp Description: PGP signature
