Please open a bug against "src:linux" requesting that this driver is built and included in the installer. We'll fix it unstable first, and can then possibly fix it in an update to buster.

Generally, BMC driver is used to view/modify configuration inside normal OS, for example Linux distributions. To view the virtual console via the embed web page, the BMC driver for Linux is not used. > > Because Huawei Kunpeng arm64 server BMC chip is hibmc, the OS need > hibmc_drm.ko to work with it, currently this kernel module is not included in > the netboot initrd > (http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-arm64/20190702+deb10u1/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz) > . > > I have verified the BMC virtual console graphic output works well by adding > hibmc_drm.ko into the netboot initrd.

Request add hibmc_drm into buster aarch64 netboot image
Hello， I'm trying to install Debian buster on to the Huawei Kunpeng arm64 server, found that the installation graphic output not show up via the server BMC virtual console. Because Huawei Kunpeng arm64 server BMC chip is hibmc, the OS need hibmc_drm.ko to work with it, currently this kernel module is not included in the netboot initrd ( http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-arm64/20190702+deb10u1/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz) . I have verified the BMC virtual console graphic output works well by adding hibmc_drm.ko into the netboot initrd. Could you please help evaluating add the hibmc_drm udeb into the netboot initrd by default? Thanks -- Kairui
