Bug#737750: debian-installer: Netboot initrd does not download ata-modules or sata-modules udebs



I would like to mention that I've just hit this bug.

I've got a handful of dell laptops here that will install perfectly via DVD, but the netboot image fails to load the drivers for the sata controller.

I've confirmed that the network is functional, and watched a tcpdump of the installer downloading the installer components from three different mirrors.

The netboot images are completely missing a handful of drivers according to this link:

And it appears that the drivers are not being downloaded from the mirror for some reason.
