Bug#1054459: debian-installer: Debian 12.2 amd64 netinst failes to find a kernel image for a Dell 7812
cc:d...@caltech.edu, st...@einval.com Hi Steve, The Supermicro system that created the netinst flash drive image is a xeon with ecc; its root filesystem system is a btrfs raid1 mirror pair. I did not verify the checksum of the netinst image after copying to flash. My bad because recreating the image on the Supermicro resulted in the install now running to completion on the Dell 7812. I created about 4 installs to different partition sets to try and reproduce the bug to generate a log file with the failure. None of them failed. this bugreport should be closed as 'unable to reproduce' I regret the erroneous bugreport and will use the experience to check more carefully in the future.

I had the same results with debian 12.2 adm64 dvd-1.iso and dlbd-1.iso That's very odd. I can't reproduce this here in simple testing in a VM, and there shouldn't be anything system-specific here. Could you please test again and grab the installer syslog for us? That'll help us to see what's going wrong here. When I booted the debian 12.2 amd64 live.iso system, its installer ran OK. I am running on the system installed from the live installer right now. This is what made the lspci. I also successfully managed to perform a dist-upgrade from an install of debian 11.6.

For now it looks like a better solution is to just create more meta packages and accept that they become uninstallable from time to time. In the future we might want to split off the modules into it's own package anyway. That will then allow - a different image package containing prebuilt UKI, - a different modules package to replace the special cloud flavours.
