  • Bug#1108924: initramfs-tools: Cannot boot Trixie d-i rc2 USB storage ta

    Package: initramfs-tools
    Version: 0.148.2
    Severity: normal

    Dear Maintainer,

    Installed Debian Trixie d-i rc2 (dvd-1) on USB storage is not bootable due
    to missing modules from initramfs:

    cdns3_starfive
    cdns3

    Manually adding the above module names to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and
    then `update-initramfs -u` results in a bootable system.

    $ grep MODULES= /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf
    MODULES=most

    Tested failure on Debian Trixie supported hardware Pine64 Star64 with
    upstream U-Boot (env fdtfile=invalid to inherit the newer
    devicetree-rebasing dtb).

    Note the above USB support on Pine64 Star64 is directly part of StarFive
    JH7110 CPU and differs from StarFive VisionFive2 which uses an external controller attached to the PCIe bus.
