Control: reassign -1 src:linux Hi Timothy, * Timothy Pearson <tpearson@raptorengineering.com> [2021-06-17 15:46]: >The current Bullseye installer images don't include the "ast" video driver, making it impossible to install Debian on systems that don't have a fallback VGA BIOS (anything non-x86, e.g. ARM/OpenPOWER). > >Ubuntu fixed this issue almost 5 years ago: >https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1514711 > >Please include the "ast" kernel module, which does not require any proprietary firmware to function, in the Debian installer CD images. The module is part of the fb-modules-5.10.0-7-arm64-di: https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/-/blob/master/debian/installer/modules/arm64/fb-modules#L3 and fb-modules-5.10.0-7-loongson-3-di: https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/-/blob/master/debian/installer/modules/mipsel-loongson-3/fb-modules#L5 Additionally CONFIG_DRM_AST is enabled for ppc64: https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/-/blob/master/debian/config/kernelarch-powerpc/config-arch-64#L94 and x86: https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/-/blob/master/debian/config/kernelarch-x86/config#L519 So I assume it should be easy to add the module to the corresponding udebs. Reassigning to the linux package, accordingly. I guess it would help if you could be more specific on which architectures it would be useful. Cheers Jochen
