Bug#290329: missing modules on powerpc images

[Eduard Bloch <edi@gmx.de>]

severity 290329 grave
thanks

I tried to install Sarge on a ppc and... it failed! Because at least
some modules have been missing. Following semi-official hints, I figured
out that MODULES=dep needs to be set to make it work. This has been
confirmed by Sven (see below).

Read: currently, it is a pain in the ass setting up boot configuration
on prep. You need to change the config, cook initrd image, cook vmlinuz
image, then install it manually. At least the first three steps should
and can be automated.

Regards,
Eduard.

<Zomb> svenl: should I set it to grave?
<svenl> horms: the only problem with my existing code is that i use absolut symlinks and not relative ones.
<Zomb> or is it pointless?
<svenl> Zomb: i would, but i guess jbailey will not fix it, not sure though.
<svenl> Zomb: you can try, i will support you on this.
<Zomb> ok
<svenl> Zomb: you can tell jbailey that i told that.
<svenl> It affects prep and pegasos1, and probably some oldworlds too.
<svenl> maybe some earlier chrp even.
<Zomb> I will just paste the last lines of IRC log
