Bug#296097: missing modules in ppp-modules



Package: ppp-modules-2.4.27-2-386-di
Version: 1.03
Severity: grave
Tags: d-i

I have successfully installed Debian using only 3 floppies (boot,root,custom) and PPP connection over null-modem (no CD or Ethernet). I've used ppp-modules and statically compiled pppd.

Unfortunately, ppp-modules doesn't have all needed modules. The modules that must be added to it are the following:

slhc.o
ppp_async.o
zlib_deflate.o (for ppp-deflate.o that is already in ppp-modules)

Without these, ppp-modules can't be used in debian-installer, so I mark this bug as grave.

I guess that these need just to be added to packages/kernel/kernel-wedge/modules/ppp-modules

I've noticed that packages/kernel/linux-kernel-di-{ia64,m68k{,-2.6}}/modules/ARCH/ppp-modules contain their own list of these modules -- I don't know if it should be fixed along with this bug.

Regards,
ogi
