I've uploaded[1] a screenshot so you can see the error. With the dirty workaround I've made, I "fixed" the problem, so there is not actual urgency. I just wanted to report the problem.

These were my steps: svn co svn://svn.debian.org/d-i/tags/installer/20090123lenny6 d-i make build_netboot-gtk (only to test the graphical installer) I tested the mini.iso with a vm, and the error is still there.

Lenny installer, problems loading the graphical installer mouse modules
During the last month, I've been having problems with the creation of debian-installer images for a lenny-based distro. I've tried with different svn tags and even with the trunk version, but the results were the same. The error appears after selecting the graphical install and enabling the framebuffer: FATAL: Could not open 'kernel/drivers/input/evdev.ko': No such file or directory FATAL: Could not open 'kernel/drivers/input/mouse/psmouse.ko': No such file or difrectory After playing around for a while, I found out that modprobe is trying to load the kernel modules from a relative path. This, obviously, is a bug. d-i hackers may have not noticed that because they're tremendously busy with the squeeze release. Anyway, I've attached a small dirty and ugly workaround. The file in charge of loading the mouse modules is the S61mouse-support-x86, from the rootskel-gtk package. Is there a better solution to this problem? If you need more information, please let me know. -- Raúl Benencia Lihuen GNU/Linux development team *** src/lib/debian-installer.d/S61mouse-support-x86 2010-02-22 15:40:21.0 -0300 --- src/lib/debian-installer.d/S61mouse-support-x86 2010-02-23 17:20:13.0 -0300 *** *** 1,5 --- 1,7 if [ "$DEBIAN_FRONTEND" = gtk ] ; then + cd /lib/modules/`uname -r` modprobe -q evdev || true modprobe -q psmouse || true modprobe -q usbmouse || true + cd - fi
