Indeed, scsi-core-modules was missing. However, nic-modules was already there. I rebuilt d-i now making sure both are present and created a new set of images. When booting on a SPARC-T5, the modules are just not loaded automatically. Dropping out of d-i into a shell and just loading the modules with "modprobe sunvdc" and "modprobe sunvnet" works: [3549345.279904] sunvdc.c:v1.2 (November 24, 2014) [3549345.281060] sunvdc: Virtual Hard disk vdiska [3549345.281064] sunvdc: vdiska: 20971520 sectors (10240 MB) protocol 1.1 [3549345.281610] vdiska: vdiska1 vdiska2 vdiska3 [3549345.284722] sunvdc: Virtual CDROM vdiskb [3549345.284727] sunvdc: vdiskb: 338864 sectors (165 MB) protocol 1.1 [3549345.285054] vdiskb: vdiskb1 vdiskb2 vdiskb3 vdiskb4 vdiskb5 vdiskb6 vdiskb7 [3549361.270957] sunvnet.c:v1.0 (June 25, 2007) [3549361.273663] vnet_port vnet-port-0-0 eth0: Sun LDOM vnet 00:14:4f:f8:57:82 [3549361.273720] sunvnet: eth0: PORT ( remote-mac XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX switch-port ) [3549361.273930] sunvnet: eth0: PORT ( remote-mac XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX ) [3549361.273995] sunvnet: eth0: PORT ( remote-mac XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX ) [3549361.274055] sunvnet: eth0: PORT ( remote-mac XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX ) [3549361.274115] sunvnet: eth0: PORT ( remote-mac XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX ) [3549361.274175] sunvnet: eth0: PORT ( remote-mac XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX ) So, the question now is why those modules aren't loaded automatically when boot the debian-installer initrd and kernel.
