Bug Description
've been trying to install Dapper flight 5 (AMD64) on my computer, but it always ends up failing. It gets all the way down to the base installation, but can never install the initramfs-tools. It says it'll repeat the message 5 times, but finally fails.
If I try to do the base installation step again, it fails on that package 5 times again, but than asks me to choose a kernel. I choose the generic 64 one, and that also fails.
At that point I can go onto the apt configuration step, but I always stop the install, since part of the base installation fails.
I've had the same results with Flight 4, Flight 5, and the nightlies from the 28th and 29th. I also tried the nightly AMD64 DVD install, but it pauses after starting the kernel, finally saying that /dev/ramfs doesn't exist, and drops me to a shell.
My system:
AMD 64 X2 4400+
3GB DRR-400
Giga-Byte K8NXP-SLI (nVidia and Silicon Image SATA controllers)
Dual XFX 7800 video cards in an SLI configuration
I'm trying to install onto a hard drive on the nVidia SATA1 controller.
Here's the end of the /var/log/syslog it dumps out, I have the full log available too:

I've had the same result with Flight 4, Flight 5, and the most recent daylies. The AMD 64 DVD daily doesn't even run.
Apparently the March 22nd daily fixed this issue for one person, but it's not available any more.
