Control: severity -1 important Hi Robert & kernel maintainers,

There's a udeb for amd64 anyway: https://packages.debian.org/stretch/amd64/scsi-core-modules-4.9.0-3-amd64-di/download It seems to be used to build the cdrom initramfses on the following archs: | kibi@armor:~/debian-installer/installer/build$ git grep scsi-core-modules|sort | pkg-lists/cdrom/alpha.cfg:scsi-core-modules-${kernel:Version} | pkg-lists/cdrom/amd64.cfg:scsi-core-modules-${kernel:Version} | pkg-lists/cdrom/arm64.cfg:scsi-core-modules-${kernel:Version} | pkg-lists/cdrom/i386.cfg:scsi-core-modules-${kernel:Version} | pkg-lists/hd-media/armhf.cfg:scsi-core-modules-${kernel:Version} (That's in src:debian-installer) So it looks to me we only need to have the extra module in this udeb, and the release images will automatically get it. > The installation has been tried on a simple VMware VM with the LSI > logic parallel controller. The driver that is used is the "mptspi.ko" > module. This module (and other scsi) modules are missing.) Kernel maintainers (in copy): maybe this wasn't added to one of the scsi udebs because the module is below the drivers/message/fusion directory? Feel free to steal the bug report away from us if the required change is just about shipping extra .ko('s) into your udebs. KiBi.
