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

I have verified that the reported crashes and the infinite loop which I could reproduce in ncurses 6.1+20181013-2+deb10u1 appear to be fixed, at least with the submitted corrupt input files. Also, the compiled terminfo files in ncurses-base and ncurses-term are identical to the ones currently in buster. This upload touches the tinfo library which is used in the installer, however to the best of my knowledge the changed functions are only used by tic and not by any other packages.

Behavior is identical in 10.1. What you could do, without rebooting: open another shell (ctrl-alt f2), luksClose the crypted volume, pgremove the physical volume group, then comes the scary part: add some amnesia to partman. I did a # mv /var/lib/partman/devices/=dev\=nvme0n1 /tmp/, went back to the installer and could re-do whatever I wanted to do.
