Package: anna Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: vagrant@debian.org I was recently made aware of: https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/anna/-/commit/f6d5052a00df58c8f9d27d74c8ab585cc4d341e2 commit f6d5052a00df58c8f9d27d74c8ab585cc4d341e2 Author: Holger Wansing <hwansing@mailbox.org> Date: Wed Nov 6 00:04:45 2019 +0100 Change template, to give a senseful message to the user, when no kernel modules can be found. Also, turn that from a question into an error message, since continuing isn't possible without kernel modules anyway. While I understand the motivation for making this a hard error in the default case, there are valid use-cases for testing with a mismatched kernel. I used to rely on being able to skip this step when testing new arm* platforms or platforms that depend on a newer kernel version or features using a custom kernel, or where there is a mismatch in the kernel version due to a recent ABI bump where debian-installer hasn't yet caught up with the archive... Maybe an explicit debconf question with low priority could be used to skip this step instead of issuing a hard error? That way expert installs or debconf preseeding could be used with the default images in the less typical use cases... Don't have the time to write a patch right now, but somedaymaybe. :) Thanks! live well, vagrant
