Roland Clobus <rclobus@rclobus.nl> (2025-05-24):So overall we (only) need 5 additional kernel modules: i915, drm_buddy, drm_display_helper, cec, rc-coreRe-used/adapted some logic in debian-installer.git, see speech-support branch (the commit message sucks, and at least that would need some editing before merging into master). See kibi/for-master for the debian-cd side (patch 2/3 compared to current master). Test image: https://people.debian.org/~kibi/bug-1092977+intel/ (also contains partman-crypto fun, unrelated, but one build/stone, two bugs/birds, right?) I've at least confirmed I can `modprobe i915` manually…
I can't do `modprobe i915`, not even `modprobe drm_buddy`. I get the error message:modprobe: FATAL: Module drm_buddy not found in directory /lib/modules/6.12.29-amd64.
The kernel module files are present, `modprobe /lib/modules/6.12.29-amd64/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_buddy.ko.xz` works.
So I booted the graphical installer, opened a terminal with Ctrl-Alt-F2 and ended up with modprobe commands with a path for all modules... Finally I could modprobe i915 and as proof it worked, the resolution of the terminal changed and dmesg showed the addition of a sound card.
(When I did this in the shell within d-i, the computer hung up) Looking at the WWW for this issue: Is a call to `depmod` missing?So I booted the netinst image again, the combination `depmod;modprobe i915` (in a console) worked like a charm.
However, I'm a bit surprised by having kernel 6.12.29 in the test image.I tested with kernel 6.12.27 (as that is present in the RC1 image), because I assumed that 6.12.29 would not migrate to trixie due to #1106070 (which would break all live images)
So in summary: * The netinst image needs `depmod` for the added kernel module(s) * I didn't test the espeakup yet, but assume it will work * I hope we will have kernel 6.12.30, but definitely not 6.12.29 With kind regards, Roland Clobus Details: * Booting in UEFI with Secure Boot * Image: https://people.debian.org/~kibi/bug-1092977+intel/
