Bug#271309: debian-installer: No 2.6 SCSI module .udebs in PowerPC CD images

[Jens Schmalzing <jensen@debian.org>]

Package: debian-installer
Severity: important

Hi,

apparently, the PowerPC CD images of d-i completely lack the 2.6 SCSI
module .udebs.  More precisely, the packages:

 scsi-modules-2.6.8-<flavour>,
 scsi-core-modules-2.6.8-<flavour>, and
 scsi-common-modules-2.6.8-<flavour>

are missing entirely for all three flavours powerpc, power3, and
power4, while the fourth package of the set,

 scsi-extra-modules-2.6.8-<flavour>,

is included but uninstallable.  This means that it is completely
impossible to install on systems with SCSI disks, or in fact use the
CD-ROM in a SCSI CD drive.

After opening the ISO image and re-building it with the missing .udebs
added, everything worked fine.

Regards, Jens.
