Thing I would like to known is if debian-installer is mirrored. It is http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/buster/main/debian-installer/ usual stuff is in http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/buster/main/ Note that both directories have binary-ARCH directories. Logfiles of the local HTTP mirror can tell. Groeten Geert Stappers P.S. Please don't send the HTTP server logfiles, analyze them yourself. -- Leven en laten leven

It's in scsi-modules--di now. (I know it's not a SCSI driver, but that's where we currently put miscellaneous storage drivers.) The netboot installer should install that package and then trigger loading of the module. Have you updated the netboot installer since the point release? Ben. -- Ben Hutchings Nothing is ever a complete failure; it can always serve as a bad example. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

This makes it unnessecary tiresome to install Debian VMs on not-Internet-connected server. This is intentional. netboot is for booting from _network_. On the network you got a distribution mirror, otherwise you have problems installing Debian anyway. Bastian Hello Bastian, In fact the VM is actually booting from network, and has access to a distribution mirror (copy of DVD-1 of Debian Buster 10.1), but the debian-installer can't detect VM disk to be partitionned… I don't know very well debian-installer internals, should it downloads a .deb or .udeb for disk modules to be able to detect them ? I saw in previous Debian versions some « virtio-modules » like : virtio-modules-4.9.0-11-amd64-di, containing virtio_blk module, but it doesn't exist in Buster, how the installer is supposed to get it ? With regards, Fred.
