The first email at #724931 has it right: Oops. I was talking about grub, you about the initrd. Sorry for the confusion. I'm no expert on the initrd. So I mounted firmware-testing-amd64-netinst.iso on a local directory. As you say, running 'lsinitramfs initrd.gz | grep -i loop' does not turn up loop.ko. All I know is that using that iso image I can boot to the installer, so something is making the contents of that iso image available to the d-i kernel. As Alice would say, curiouser and curiouser. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
