Yes, exactly what Steve said. I certainly did not mean to imply that you must use a public mirror; it's entirely possible and reasonable to use a private mirror for installations - it just needs to be a little more than a mounted DVD image.

netllama, "real mirror" doesn't imply a public mirror; it just implies a complete mirror that includes intrepid and intrepid-updates (and in this case, intrepid-proposed). As Colin says, you can use the packages from the DVD to /start/ the mirror; but you need to have a full set of updates on you

That's rather unfortunate that no one is going to fix the actual bug. I cannot use a real mirror for numerous reasons. First, all the systems that are performing the 8.10 install are behind a firewall with no internet access. Additionally, these systems are used for my employer's regression tes

By the way, I find that I very often have to help out people who have attempted to construct reduced mirrors by mounting CD or DVD images and making them available through a web server.

@Colin I added "apt-setup/proposed=true" to the 'append' line of my kickstart config. That sort of helped, but not enough to do anything useful. Now the install fails immediately after getting a DHCP lease with the error "No kernel modules were found. This probable is due to a mismatch betwee

At the very least, it would be great if someone provided an estimate on when a fixed initrd would be available. I'm rapidly approaching a cutoff where support for 8.10 (in my employer's software) is going to be dropped completely if I can't perform any automated installations for testing purposes.
