Further testing of this fix proved that it is insufficient. hw-detect
call check-missing-firmware, which look on several devices (disk, USB
sticks, floppies) for firmware, but fail to look on the CD itself.
This, I must admit, is very sad. I had a look at the source of
check-missing-firmware and saw it was looking in the firmware/
directory of several devices, and assumed it would also check the boot
media, but no. :(
Should hw-detect also look for firmware on the CD?
Happy hacking,
