Bug#756147: closed by Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> (Re: Bug#756147: scsi-common-modules-3.2.0-4-amd64-di: cannot PXE install on VMware)
Perhaps this bug is filed under the incorrect package, however, I still
believe this to be a bug as it is impossible to install in a detached
environment using the distributed ISO. Neither the udeb's provided by
the ISO or the netboot initrd provide the scsi_transport_spi module
which is needed to install in an ESX environment.
Mirroring the upstream repo is undesirable as I need a static set of
package versions. I should be able to serve the mounted ISO to PXE
install, but due to this missing module I am unable to do so.
As far as I see, the answer is to either add the module to the initrd
or add the udeb to the ISO. Adding to the ISO seems more ideal to me as
it keeps the size of the initrd down.
