The interesting question is really, where is the initrd generated by
d-i? Where would it be a good idea to try making the needed
modifications? It wouldn't be enough just adding a register-module
command to the hw-detect script, would it?
It is generated on the fly, at kernel installation time. As discussed with
Frans, the base-installer needs to modify the config files of initrd
generators (yaird, initramfs-tools) to make sure that at least the esp
module is included there. I've sent the attached patch against
base-installer to him privately for review, but he's been a bit busy
lately. I'm sure that he'll take care of it at some point.
