Bug#703072: linux: hid-generic module is missing from input-modules udeb
Source: linux
Version: 3.7.1-1~experimental.2
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Trying to install Debian with installer images generated with a newer
kernel (3.7 in my case) leads to unrecognized USB keyboards and mice
due to the lack of hid-generic module in the installer initrd.
Here's the patch I used to include that module:
diff --git a/debian/installer/modules/input-modules b/debian/installer/modules/input-modules
