nic-modules is still needed on vexpress as it provides the module for
the on-board NIC.
Since any system with external USB ports should be able to work with
arbitrary USB Ethernet controllers, I added nic-{usb,wireless}-modules
packages and removed the USB modules you originally specified in
nic-modules. In the case of mx5 this left nic-modules empty, and I
removed it, but for vexpress there was that one module left, smsc911x.
Unfortunately I then removed nic-modules from the installer for *both*
flavours instead of just mx5.
I just tried adding smsc91xx back into the current daily netboot initrd
and it seems to work in QEMU (up to the point where the installer finds
I didn't attach a disk).
Yes, I have committed such a change, and I have been able to do a full
installation that way. The daily image that will be generated in a few
hours should have the fix, I will test it when available.
By the way, given that the majority of users for the vexpress flavour
will be running it in QEMU rather than a real Motherboard Express
(they're expensive!), is it possible to support an alternate model like
virtio_net that may be emulated more efficiently?
Unfortunately the vexpress board doesn't have PCI/PCIE support so the
standard virtio doesn't work there. People are working on virtio-mmio,
but it seems to be something difficult to get working correctly.

Hello Aurélien!
Aurelien Jarno aure...@debian.org (14/04/2013):
Sorry to answer late, I only have been able to test it now.
Unfortunately the vexpress image is now broken, due to this change:
| * Replace nic-modules with nic-{usb,wireless}-modules in armhf netboot
|images (Closes: #705118)
nic-modules is still needed on vexpress as it provides the module for
the on-board NIC.
no worries. Thanks for the heads-up and the fix, I'll be re-uploading
src:d-i in a few (dozens of) minutes accordingly.
tasksel and possibly gdm3/gnome-session were being considered for rc2
anyway, so that's not really delaying the release…
Mraw,

I have just done a test of the daily image from this morning, and the
installation was successful.

again (checked in harris' sid chroot). Unfortunately, I have no idea
how to test the generated images, so actual testing would be
appreciated.

Bug#705118: debian-installer: FTBFS on armhf: Unable to locate package nic-modules-3.2.0-4-mx5-di
Source: debian-installer
Version: 20130409
Severity: serious
Justification: FTBFS
Hi folks,
I unfortunately missed or forgot about those changes on the kernel side:
|* [armhf/mx5] udeb: Add missing storage drivers (Closes: #697128)
| - Add ata-modules including libata, pata-modules including pata_imx,
|sata-modules including ahci_platform
| - Add sdhci-esdhc-imx to mmc-modules
| - Add mtd-modules including mtd, mtdblock and m25p80
|* [armhf] udeb: Fix network driver selection
| - [armhf/mx5] Remove nic-modules
| - [armhf/vexpress] Add usb-modules
| - Add standard set of USB drivers to nic-usb-modules
| - Add nic-wireless-modules
(See: http://packages.qa.debian.org/l/linux/news/20130225T050455Z.html)
Meaning d-i now FTBFS with:
| E: Unable to locate package nic-modules-3.2.0-4-mx5-di
| E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'nic-modules-3.2.0-4-mx5-di'
(See: https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=debian-installersuite=sid)
Patches (preferably tested ;)) against src:debian-installer to update
package lists for armhf/{mx5,vexpress} are more than welcome. Also,
(I know I'm asking a lot), “fast is good”.
Thanks already.
Mraw,
KiBi.
