Bug#410815: ppc daily netinst CD (12-Feb-07) missing ibmveth module



Package: cdrom
Version: 4.0
Severity: grave

As far as I can tell, the daily build network install CD for Debian/ppc 4.0
(etch) from 12-Feb-07 does not include the ibmveth module (ibm virtual
ethernet driver; i.e. CONFIG_IBMVETH). This affects anyone using POWER5
virtualization with virtual ethernet. It makes it impossible to do a network
install on a logical partition.

Boot the CD using 'expert64'
Select 'Execute a shell'
~ # modprobe ibmveth
FATAL: Module ibmveth not found.
~ # ifconfig eth0 up
SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device

Please include the driver on the network install CD.
