Hi everyone,

Im trying to make my own debian distribution but I have a problem.

simple-cdd works fine but when I try to install my generated .iso, everything goes right since a message apears: " No installable kernel was found in the defined APT sources

You may try to continue without a kernel. and manually install your kernel later. This is only recommended for experts, otheriwse you will likely end with a machine that dosent boot.

COntinue Without installing a kernel? "

And if y say yes, it continues... When is time to install grub it says:

" Installation step failed An installation step failed. You can try to run the failing item again from the menu, or skip it and choose something else. The failing step is: Install the GRUB boot loader on a hard disk "

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
