Bug#940801: The missing kernel module

[Geert Stappers <stappers@stappers.nl>]

Hi,


Doing:

mkdir newdir
cd newdir
wget http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/buster/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz
tar xf netboot.tar.gz
mkdir newerdir
cd newerdir
zcat ../debian-installer/amd64/initrd.gz | cpio -id
find . -name virtio_\*

Gives:
./lib/modules/4.19.0-6-amd64/kernel/drivers/char/virtio_console.ko
./lib/modules/4.19.0-6-amd64/kernel/drivers/virtio/virtio_input.ko
./lib/modules/4.19.0-6-amd64/kernel/drivers/virtio/virtio_pci.ko
./lib/modules/4.19.0-6-amd64/kernel/drivers/virtio/virtio_balloon.ko
./lib/modules/4.19.0-6-amd64/kernel/drivers/virtio/virtio_mmio.ko
./lib/modules/4.19.0-6-amd64/kernel/drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.ko
./lib/modules/4.19.0-6-amd64/kernel/drivers/net/virtio_net.ko



On a totally other system:
$ find /lib/modules/$(uname -r) -name virtio_\*
/lib/modules/4.4.0-121-generic/kernel/drivers/virtio/virtio_input.ko
/lib/modules/4.4.0-121-generic/kernel/drivers/scsi/virtio_scsi.ko


What is needed to get virtio Kernel Objects in the installer initrd.gz
