Bug#943685: installation-reports: Missing modules for all ethernet NICs
Package: installation-reports
Severity: important
I have never seen this problem before with debian testing installer, but here it is
3d1f1fbae2fa937f6af9a71e96dbad10f9ce8ce1f0210deb1ac069b57f074948 debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso

I tried Expert install in virt-manager with qemu, both with rtl8139
emulated device, and with e1000e to no success. lspci does show them.
/lib/modules/5.2.0-3-amd64/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/ has only one file: broadcom/cnci.ko
The debian installer says:
"No kernel modules were found. This is probably due to a missmatch
between kernel used by this version of the installer and the kernel
version available in the archive."
Ugh? I don't have access to any network yet, so I am not sure what
archive debian installer is talking about.
If it included different kernel to boot and different modules on the
medium that is definitively a bug in the debian installer build process
or in live wrapper or something.
In debug console it shows:
cdrom-retriever: warning: File /cdrom/dists/bullseye/main/debian-installer/binary-amd64/Packages does not exist.
(PS. Packages.gz does exists there tho).
cdrom-retriever: warning: Unable to find contrib/debian-installer/binary-amd64/Packages in /cdrom/dists/bullseye/Release.
cdrom-retriever: warning: Unable to find contrib/debian-installer/binary-amd64/Package.gz in /cdrom/dists/bullseye/Release.
anna[2050]: WARNING **: no packages matching running kernel 5.2.0-3-amd64 in archive
I did check manually zcat
/cdrom/dists/bullseye/main/debian-installer/binary-amd64/Packages.gz and
it does list multiple udeb packages for kernel 5.3.0-1-amd64-di. For
example nic-modules-5.3.0-1-amd64-di_5.3.7-1_amd64.udeb
The file does exist on the medium, and is 4.0MB.
The running kernel is 5.2.0-3-amd64
So maybe the issue is with the "-di" suffix?
