Hi,

background information:
* debian-installer from 2014-10-02
* had a succesfull install on 2014-10-24
* it is now, 2014-11-02, broken


Debian-installer shows on tty4:

anna[1770]: WARNING **: no packages matching running kernel 3.16-2-amd64 in archive.


Some research from me

At http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/linux/ there
are e.g.
scsi-modules-3.16-0.bpo.2-sparc64-di_3.16.3-2~bpo70+1_sparc.udeb
scsi-modules-3.16-3-4kc-malta-di_3.16.5-1_mips.udeb
so *-3.16-0* and *-3.16-3*, no *-3.16-2* ( -0 -3 available, no -2 )



What is broken? ( my config? d-i? ftp-archive? kernel uploads? )

That image can't work after a kernel ABI change. You should use another
image or a daily build.

Hello Debian-Installer people,

Inside http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz
is a 3.16-2 kernel. Using it yields

anna[PID]: WARNING **: no packages matching running kernel 3.16-2-amd64 in archive.

That seems due a kernel ABI change.


To prevent further harm could http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz
be removed or updated?

Now it is on -b...@l.d.o. ( Previous only on -kernel )

It could be that the update process is stalled.
Who can verify (and get it rolling again)?

Information that I have:
* The above netboot.tar is from 2014-10-02
* Announcement of Jessi debian-installer beta 2 is from 2014-10-05

In other words: archive shoud not have 2 october version, but a 5 october version.


Workaround that I use is d-i from "current daily snapshots"
found mid https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/
The 3 november version has a 3.16-3 kernel

Netboot images get a kernel modules mismatch when the ABI is bumped,
which isn't a new thing. If one wants to use a released d-i, there are
other installation images (CD or DVD images etc.) to pick from.

There are also dailies built, so that one can test newer images until
the next d-i release; which is what you've mentioned at the bottom of
your mail.

That's incorrect. There's always a slight delay between when the
debian-installer package is uploaded, and when each and every bit
is ready, and images are built/published. The former happened on
2014-10-02, the latter happened on 2014-10-05.

FWIW 3.16-4 is pending so releasing images using 3.16-3 wouldn't be
much of an improvement.
