Thanks for the report and all the details.

Reassigning to the linux kernel, which should get an update to ship
those modules in the relevant udeb. Those probably should go along with
mdio-bcm-unimac in debian/installer/modules/arm64/nic-modules.

Hopefully that can be picked up for a point release.

Bug#1038103: Missing PHY module for Odroid N2+ in debian-installer (bookworm)

[Łukasz Walkowski]

Package: debian-installer
Version: debian-installer/stable 20230607 arm64

When installing Debian using netboot current image and PXE on Odroid N2+,
the PHY modules are missing from the initrd. This causes installation to
fail, because of the missing networking.

A workaround is to repack initrd with modules copied from working bookworm
installation.

The missing modules are:
./kernel/drivers/net/mdio/mdio-mux-meson-g12a.ko
./kernel/drivers/net/mdio/mdio-mux.ko

This is observed with the 'current' netboot image, dated 2023/06/07:
Linux bootstrap 6.1.0-9-arm64 #1 SMP Debian 6.1.27-1 (2023-05-08) aarch64
GNU/Linux
