Hello, When a firmware is missing, DI now prompts for a device with that firmware. (great, I love that feature!).
If I understand the situation correctly, the fact that one introduces a usb key causes that key to be enumerated before the sata hard disk, which causes grub to write an incorrect configuration file (since the standard kernel enumerate HD first). As a workaround for that bug : Shouldn't the "prompt for firmware" mention that this is optional? (and the side effects). in packages/hw-detect/debian/hw-detect.templates > Template: hw-detect/load_firmware > Type: boolean > Default: true Shouldn't the default value be false? > # :sl2: > _Description: Load missing firmware from removable media? > Some of your hardware needs non-free firmware files to operate. The > firmware can be loaded from removable media, such as a USB stick or > floppy. If the enumeration order can't be fixed, maybe we could add "Probing for those firmware may prevent the system from rebooting properly, as described in the Installation Guide, chapter..." > . > The missing firmware files are: ${FILES} I also suggest to add a note like "(You can either provide a raw firmware, or a .deb package)" > . > If you have such media available now, insert it, and continue. Finally, since D-I doesn't seems to support WPA. I wonder if we really should prompt for wifi firmware... which would encourage people to use the very unsecure WEP protocol? I could work on a patch to use a blacklist of modules so we don't ask for those wifi firmwares. Regards, Franklin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
