kernel not found during installation

[Rudy Gevaert]

Hi,

I'm still have problems installing my AMD64 bit machines.  I fixed my 
10-base-classes script so it outputs AMD64 when I boot my AMD64 machines.

* classes seem ok:

spring:/# echo $classes
DEFAULT LINUX AMD64 FAIBASE UGENT GRUB X4100 spring LAST

* package config seems ok to:

wopr:/srv/fai/config/package_config# cat X4100
PACKAGES install
kernel-image-2.6.16.20-pure-amd64

* during install I get:
software.log:WARNING: These unknown packages are removed from the 
installation list: kernel-image-2.6.16.20-pure-amd64

So he wants to install it, but can't find it.

* but my sources.list in my chroot seems ok (see last line):

spring:/# cat etc/apt/sources.list
# These lines should work for many sites
# A more comprehensive example can be found in 
/usr/share/doc/fai/examples/etc

deb http://ftp.be.debian.org/debian etch main contrib non-free
#deb http://ftp.be.debian.org/debian etch-proposed-updates main \ 
contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security etch/updates main \
contrib non-free
deb http://debs.ugent.be/debian etch main

* I have several hooks that create my sources.list.  My fai.log shows no 
errors:

Calling hook: updatebase.DEFAULT
fcopy: no matching file for any class for etc/apt/sources.list defined.
updatebase.DEFAULT   OK.

But, after the installation, when I chroot into /tmp/target I can do:

spring:/# apt-cache policy kernel-image-2.6.16.20-pure-amd64
kernel-image-2.6.16.20-pure-amd64:
   Installed: (none)
   Candidate: 2
   Version table:
      2 0
         500 http://debs.ugent.be etch/main Packages

So that kernel is indeed in my local repository.

I can even install that kernel:

spring:/# apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.16.20-pure-amd64

Any further tips or trouble shooting tips would be very helpful.
