OK, but doesn't base-config already do this? I seem to recall it
installing discover, read-edid, and a few other related pkgs after asking
all its questions.
In any case, I think d-i can do better than that... We already know which
modules are the correct ones since the installer has been using them the
entire time to perform the install. Why throw away that information and
start from scratch trying to detect the hardware, when we know what works?
I was thinking of something like:
lsmod | cut -f1 -d' ' | tail +2 > /target/etc/modules
would be better since this would even capture modules that the user has
manually loaded.
Hope this helps!
