Hello maintainers of hw-detect, The new version of ethdetect.sh does not detect the network interfaces when booting from BIOS. This can be seen on openQA [1] where the installer fails to find the network interfaces for the BIOS scenarios. The UEFI scenarios still work. From the d-i syslog (broken, BIOS) [2]: Jul 29 21:33:12 main-menu[430]: INFO: Menu item 'ethdetect' selected Jul 29 21:33:17 net/hw-detect.hotplug: Detected hotpluggable network interface lo Jul 29 21:33:18 net/hw-detect.hotplug: Detected hotpluggable network interface ens4 Jul 29 21:33:18 kernel: [ 30.969705] virtio_net virtio0 ens4: renamed from eth0 Jul 29 21:33:19 check-missing-firmware: looking at dmesg for the first time Jul 29 21:33:19 check-missing-firmware: saving timestamp for a later use: [ 30.969705] Jul 29 21:33:19 check-missing-firmware: no missing firmware in loaded kernel modules From the d-i syslog (last working, BIOS) [3]: Jul 29 16:03:07 main-menu[430]: INFO: Menu item 'ethdetect' selected Jul 29 16:03:13 net/hw-detect.hotplug: Detected hotpluggable network interface lo Jul 29 16:03:13 kernel: [ 31.465192] virtio_net virtio0 ens4: renamed from eth0 Jul 29 16:03:13 net/hw-detect.hotplug: Detected hotpluggable network interface ens4 Jul 29 16:03:14 check-missing-firmware: looking at dmesg for the first time Jul 29 16:03:14 check-missing-firmware: saving timestamp for a later use: [ 31.465192] Jul 29 16:03:14 check-missing-firmware: no missing firmware in loaded kernel modules Jul 29 16:03:14 check-missing-firmware: taking network interface ens4 up/down Jul 29 16:03:15 check-missing-firmware: looking at dmesg again, restarting from timestamp: [ 31.465192] Jul 29 16:03:15 check-missing-firmware: timestamp found, truncating dmesg accordingly Jul 29 16:03:15 check-missing-firmware: keeping timestamp (no new lines): [ 31.465192] Jul 29 16:03:15 check-missing-firmware: no missing firmware in loaded kernel modules After 1.176 entered unstable, all BIOS installer tests started to fail. There are no version differences in the other udebs, so that's why I report against hw-detect. I think it might be caused by the 'Change hw-detect/firmware-lookup type to string' change, since that influences whether the network interface is taken down and up again.
