Bug#724931: Grub2-Multiboot-ISO-USB-Stick needs loop.ko and iso-scan
Package: debian-installer
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
The module 'loop.ko' is not shipped with the Debian testing netinstall ISO.
It should reside in /lib/modules/3.10-2-amd64/kernel/drivers/block/.
Because it is missing, it is impossible to mount ISO images during the
install and thus preventing installation from ISO, if the module is not
manually imported.
Please include the kernel module loop.ko in all installation ISOs.
It would be awesome, if you could also add iso-scan to the install ISOs,
so that one can use the 'findiso=' boot option.
This would make it possible to install from the ISO without having to
mount it manually during the installation.
Thanks,
Andreas
