If i change the  cdebootstrap-static command in file /usr/www/cgi-bin/debian_proc.cgi line 117 with below i don't get the same error message.

Command :
cdebootstrap-static --allow-unauthenticated --arch=arml \
                --include=openssh-server,kexec-tools,mdadm,linux-image-kirkwood \
                jessie /mnt/volume_1/debian/ http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/

Error :
Extracting installer... Downloading and installing Debian, this might take some time... I: Can't find keyring debian-archive-keyring.gpg P: Retrieving Release E: Couldn't download Release! An error has occurred, cleaning up.

I then copied the file sha256sum from below in /usr/bin/ and chmod +x /usr/bin/sha256sum but still having the error.

Swap is ok 3% of 1035MB
Enough space on /dev/md1 where i configure installation
Dev. Label Capacity Available FS Mode Dirty Automatic FSCK in
md1 volume_1 1.8TB 208.8GB ext4 RW 2 mounts or 175 days
sda4 460.6MB  372.4MB ext4 RW 49 mounts or 175 days
sdb4 460.6MB  447.1MB ext4 RW 49 mounts or 175 days

Tried many debian sources at different moment.

Any clue ? Thanks
