Re: debian installer: no kernel modules found

[Federico Bruni <fede@inventati.org>]

Ok, I think that I got it.

Here's the kernel version on the system which generated the ISO:
$ uname -a
Linux lilypond 4.8.0-1-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 4.8.7-1 (2016-11-13) i686 
GNU/Linux

$ grep linux myimage-i386.contents
[cut]
/pool/main/l/linux-signed/btrfs-modules-4.8.0-1-686-di_4.8.7-1_i386.udeb
/pool/main/l/linux-signed/btrfs-modules-4.8.0-1-686-pae-di_4.8.7-1_i386.udeb
/pool/main/l/linux-signed/crc-modules-4.8.0-1-686-di_4.8.7-1_i386.udeb
/pool/main/l/linux-signed/crc-modules-4.8.0-1-686-pae-di_4.8.7-1_i386.udeb
[cut]

but if I open a shell in the installer I see kernel 4.7.0-1.

Ah, it's probably because I forgot to update this line in my 
preseed.cfg:

 d-i mirror/suite string jessie

from jessie to stretch
