Bug#811198: linux: d-i package list: Please add 9p-modules



Source: linux
Version: 4.3.0-1-amd64
Severity: wishlist
Tags: d-i

Hi there,

9p remote filesystem modules are currently not packaged by the d-i
4.3.0-1 kernel.  It would be useful to provide a package with these
modules, since one would then be able to use 9pvirtio devices to test
installation setups under QEMU using Filesystem Passthrough [0] to avoid
the creation of an ISO image.  (Virtio modules are already available in
d-i.)

The following 9p* modules can be found in the regular kernel:

    9pnet
    9pnet-rdma
    9pnet-virtio
    9p

Please package 9p-modules-*-di.  I suppose it could be useful to add all
the above module to that package, even though only 9pnet-virtio, 9p and
its dependencies 9pnet and fscache are required 9pvirtio.

Thanks,
Cheers,
