Package: debian-installer-7.0-netboot-amd64
Version: 20130613+deb7u2.b3

Hi - can't file with reportbug since it's in a netboot environment. Or
at least it's not easy. So I'm typing messages by hand with all the
possibilities of typos.

~ # modprobe ata_piix
ERROR: could not insert 'ata_piix': Unknown symbol in module, or
unknown parameter (see dmesg)
~ # tail -2 /var/log/syslog
<DATE/TIME> <SINCE BOOT> ata_piix: Unknown symbol dmi_check_system_2 (err 0)
<DATE/TIME> <SINCE BOOT> ata_piix: Unknown symbol dmi_first_match_2 (err 0)
~ # uname -v
#1 SMP Debian 3.2.57-3

This error does not occur if I boot with a 7.6 or 7.7 CD (disk 1).
This prevents the detection of my disks on a motherboard with an
82801JIR (ICH10) controller. I will probably work around by
temporarily reverting my local mirror to the previous netboot.

Hi again Tom,

as confirmed through private mail, there was a missing copy/update of
the running kernel, leading to the symbol issue. Closing as this is not
a bug.

Tom: no worries, I don't call that spam. It could have been a real
issue, and bug reports are here to help triage them from user errors. ;)

Mraw,
KiBi.
