Bug#929974: debian-installer: netinstall on buster set link down for ethernet with r8169 module
Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
We use netinstall on buster with this kernel image: https://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/amd64/daily/netboot/debian-installer/amd64/linux
And after boot installer shows message "Network device not found"
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
When I started built-in into installer shell I was able able to bring up link with command:
ip l set eth0 up
and after that I've exit from shel, press option to detect network and installation was completed after that succsessfully
We did another test and put contain of this package https://packages.debian.org/buster/all/firmware-realtek/filelist into /lib/firmware folder with cookinitrd scripts
After this installer became work as expected.
