Hello

I'm trying to set up a system to do unattended Ubuntu 8.04 network installs. I had this basically working, but after I recently updated my mirror I've run into problems. The "Install the base system" step fails saying it cannot install he selected kernel. On closer inspection the issue is installing linux-generic, which has some dependency issue as follows:

linux-generic: Depends linux-image-generic (=2.6.24.19.21) but 2.6.24.21.23 is to be installed

Any ideas how I can get around this? Is there a boot parameter I can provide to make it chose a slightly older kernel that (hopefully) may have consistent dependencies?

Regards

Phil

Ah, my mistake I think. I'd forgotten I'd switched to the hardy-proposed branch a while ago to deal with another problem. I just switched back and now everything works OK. Thanks to anyone who was paying attention.
