(I haven't tested since I submitted the bug report)I missed that part back then because you put two different topics into one bug report. I only addressed the issue with the release name but not the missing pata-modules entry. I will have a look if it's indeed missing and add the drivers.
The pata-modules are indeed missing in the initramfs for the installer CDROM and the cause of my installation problems on my DS25 (see [1] and follow-ups). I haven't yet tested on my DS20E and ES45, but assume they are also affected, if their disc drives are attached to a PATA port. [1]: https://lists.debian.org/debian-alpha/2019/05/msg00000.html @JH: I must have overlooked that part like Adrian or maybe forgot it, because I remember your message to the debian-alpha list back in January. IIRC testing at that time was not possible on real hardware because of a bug in the kernel that only showed in non-MP kernels - and unfortunately the installer kernel for alpha is non-MP. Thankfully that's fixed now. Cheers, Frank
