Hello all, Steve, what is the suggested resolution then? For testing, I booted the initrd's and kernels extracted from standard DVD and netboot iso's via PXE. While they cannot progress further for obvious reasons, by switching to tty2, /dev/sda does appear in the listing. Those do ship with the correct modules.
1/ What would be the negative aspect of removing the scsi modules from the exclude-udeb-* lists, following the package mergers mentioned before? 2/ Also, I'm not too familiar with how the netboot is constructed, is there another way to have these drivers bundled in the netboot tar.gz (CONF.sh?)? Best regards, Marc
