Present Situation:
I have made another USB port working so now I am using 2 USB sticks.
One as debian 8.0 installation media and another to hold firmware .deb
packages.
But when I try to load the drivers in one of the installation steps it says:
"Detected removable media that is not a known driver media. Please
make sure that the correct media is inserted. You can still continue
if you have an unofficial removable media you want to use.
Unknown removable media. Try to load anyway?
1) No
2) Yes"
When I checked virtual terminal 4 I could see my hard drive partitions
(/dev/sdaX) got probed with /dev/sdb1 (the debian installation stick).
It looks like the installer is not checking /dev/sdc. But I am not
sure as I can only see a screenfull of messages with no apparent
scrolling mechanism.
Then I opted for Yes in above message. Then on next screen it said:
"No kernel modules were found. This probably is due to a mismatch
between the kernel used by this version of the installer and the
kernel version available in the archive.
If you're installing from a mirror, you can work around this problem
by choosing to install a different version of debian. The install will
probably *fail* to work if you continue without kernel modules
Continue the install without loading the kernel modules?
1) No
2) Yes"
Again no sign of probing /dev/sdc on tty4. Seeing the fail message I opted No.
So what's going on?
Is debian installer really probing /dev/sdc and finding firmware files
there as expected or do I need to mount/unmout it manually?
After saying No in "continue install without loading kernel modules"
step, the firmware got loaded correctly or not? (Though this time it
didn't ask for brcm/bcm43xx-0.fw)
Please help.
