Hi Michael,
Many thanks for the patch! Let see if I can test on my Amiga somehow.

ARAnyM should work, too. You just need to add the attached patch to the
list of patches applied (compile tested on 5.16-rc2) on top of the
mainstream kernel source - as far as I remember, Debian applies any
number of patches, and there is a file in the kernel image source
package that describes which patches are needed for a given
architecture. Haven't built a Debian kernel package in many years, so
can't be more specific than that, sorry.
It looks the Debian Installer build process retrieves the kernel from the
Debian repository itself, but I don't find any documentation reference to apply
a patch to it, maybe it is just not possible so I have to build my own kernel
and inject it in the d-i build process; but I don't know how to do that. Maybe
someone highly familiar with Debian can shed a bit of light? Adrian? It would
be ideal to try the patch with the nativehd initrd, as the first thing the
Debian Installer does in that image is to bring the network up.
You'll have to build your own kernel image binary package with the patch
included, and override the repository debian-installer uses for the
kernel image. As I've said, my exposure to building debian-installer is
minimal, and someone else (perhaps Adrian) would know a lot more about
this process.
Cheers,
Michael
