Can't install: "No installable kernel found"

[Alexandra Neubauer]

Hi,
 
I’m having the exact same problem, I can install to my laptop (p4). But if I
try to install to my desktop (A64) I get the same error.
 
The message is:
 
Unable to install the selected kernel
An error was returned while trying to install the kernel into the target
system.
 
Kernel package: ‘linux-amd64-generic’.
 
Check /var/log/messages or see virtual console 3 for the details.
 
The problem seems to be:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 Linux-amd-generic: Depends: linux-image-amd64-generic but it is not
installable
 
 
 
I tried both the i386 and Athlon64 cd’s but It wont’t install.
 
Any clues?

Hello! I'm a Linux novice who has run into an installation roadblock.
I've downloaded both the preview iso as well as the daily snapshot from 
2004-10-03.
Both matched their md5's & the installer verified the packages on the cd 
were good.
Near the end of the install I get this error:
 
---
No installable kernel found
No installable kernel was found in the defined APT sources.
The current default kernel package is 'kernel-image'.
You may try to continue though this strange error is probably fatal.

I saved the error reports to a floppy but I'm not sure what data would 
be helpful (syslog?).
I tried both the regular & expert install with the same result.
Here are some snippits from "messages":
