I was rebuilding my home print server (a re-purposed ASUS eepc netbook) yesterday and was trying Debian 7.5 netinst from a USB stick.

All was going well until partway through it complained about not having

installable kernel available to intstall. I continued on through the process and sure enough at the end the reboot stalled at grub due to no kernel entries.

Does your eeepc have one of those processors that should support PAE but doesn't?

No, full pae support. Previously it was running ubuntu 12.04 with the generic-pae kernel. Debian ended up installing the 3.2.0-4-686-pae kernel.

What exact model eeepc is it? Is it mentioned here https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/Models ?

From memory, i.e. I'm not in front of it right now, it's a 701. The installer had no trouble ID-ing hardware and asked me which of the wired or wireless NICs I wanted to use.

And what exact netinst download did you get?
