Further testing of this fix proved that it is insufficient. hw-detect call check-missing-firmware, which look on several devices (disk, USB sticks, floppies) for firmware, but fail to look on the CD itself. This, I must admit, is very sad. I had a look at the source of check-missing-firmware and saw it was looking in the firmware/ directory of several devices, and assumed it would also check the boot media, but no. :( Should hw-detect also look for firmware on the CD?
