Package: debian-installer Version: stretch-alpha8-amd64 Followup-For: Bug #740503
Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? I followed the steps at https://www.debian.org/releases/testing/amd64/ch06s04.html.en to put the required firmware for installing over wifi. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? I put the USB stick containing FAT filesystem on its 1st partition, with a firmware/ directory containing the contents of http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/firmware/testing/current/firmware.tar.gz * What was the outcome of this action? The isntaller fails to load the firmware and proposes to try again over and over. * What outcome did you expect instead? The firmware to be loaded to continue installation over wifi. Please note that the right firmware was there as unpacking it and placing it in /lib/firmware manually worked. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (900, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.8.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
