The kernel udeb configuration for alpha was broken some time before we
moved it into the linux package. Once it was moved into the linux
package, this broke kernel building as well.
You could try reverting this to get a starting point for fixing the
alpha udebs:

Unfortunately /proc/mounts only shows whether the default options have
been overwritten. You would need to combine the options listed there
with the default o
hannels and
connecting to an AP, on the assumption that the AP is following the
local rules.
But I'm prepared to believe that this doesn't work when using wext, or

ading MDIO PHY drivers (NIC drivers
expect them to be bound synchronously) it isn't easy to monitor what's
going on. You could replace modprobe with a script that logs its
arguments to a file before calling the real modprobe. That should tell
us whether the bug is in the kernel or
7;m not sure how best to investigate further. You could add more
logging to the kernel (in kernel/kmod.c) and then rebuild the installer.
Possibly you could use systemtap for this, but it will be difficult to
install the necessary packages within the installation environment.

It's in scsi-modules--di now. (I know it's not a SCSI driver,
but that's where we currently put miscellaneous storage drivers.)
The netboot installer should install that package and then trigger
loading of the module.
Have you updated the netboot
ved",
that actually means completely removing packages which are very buggy,
not just removing old versions.
Old versions may still be available in a different suite that you have
as an APT source, or might not have been decrufted yet.

Linux 5.4 introduces an in-kernel jitter-entropy implementation for
systems without a usable hardware RNG, which should remove the need for
haveged.
We could possibly cherry-pick that change on to 5.3, to avoid the need
for further changes to haveged packaging.

Logic
on of drivers to included in is mostly done through the
kernel package, not the installer packages.
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.

So it's possible to set any arbitrary string, but if you set it to
