I requested not to install any modules. When i exited module screen,
it still copied all the modules from drivers.tgz. At the screen after
where do you want to install from, it displayed the error message:
LOOP_SET_FD bad file descripter.
There are too many screens for where do you want to install from.
/instmnt should not appear on the screen, it should be added to
the input the user provides.

And when the default "works with any computer" Debian kernel is
installed, all of the modules that are selected for compilation with
it are installed as they should be, same as when you build one. If
you want a custom kernel and module set, then compile a custom kernel
and module set. We build one that works on many computers with lots
of modules available for any situtation.
I'm closing this bug. It's not a bug.
