Hi Jean, and thanks for the report. Jean Weisbuch <jean@phpnet.org> (2015-01-05): > Package: debian-installer > Version: 20130613+deb7u2 > Severity: important > Tags: d-i > > The debian-installer netboot image on wheezy is missing the module > "./lib/modules/3.2.0-4-amd64/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_spi.ko" > which makes the mptspi module (which is used by VMWare virtual > controller among others) unloadable with "Unknown symbol" errors on > the dmesg resulting on the installer unable to detect the disk(s). > > As a side note, both the i386 netboot and the amd64 classic netinstall > images contains the module. > > Taking the module from the netinstall amd64 iso and > putting it on the initrd image solves the problem and the installer > works fine then. > > > It seems that the file has been missing for quite a long time : > https://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2011/03/msg00233.html It seems to have been fixed in: | linux (3.14.13-2) unstable; urgency=medium | … | * Add scsi_transport_sas and scsi_transport_spi to scsi-core-modules udeb | as optional so that these modules do not end up in two different udebs | as dependencies. Remove them from the i386, ia64, powerpc and sparc | definition. | … | -- Aurelien Jarno <aurel32@debian.org> Thu, 24 Jul 2014 21:05:08 +0200 which has been merged as r21638. Should probably be reassigned to src:linux, and the following patch against the wheezy branch should help? (I've verified these modules are indeed shipped in the linux-image package; some others exist as well, not sure they're worth shipping along…) Mraw, KiBi.
