Summary | 0007318: Missing kernel modules for PXE boot via USB-C | ||||
Description | Dear Kali Team, I am PXE-booting Kali Linux on a UEFI laptop via a USB-C ethernet adapter. So my request is: I will gladly assist with either request. | ||||
This is more than likely needing to come from Debian |
|
Right, so if anyone can put me on the path to requesting a feature with Debian, I'll just forward this request. |

Hi! Indeed this is something that should be addressed on Debian's side. First thing is to validate that these modules are indeed missing on a Debian live image (just to be sure). I just checked that and I can confirm that those two modules are missing. Second thing is to check if there's already a bug opened for this matter. Indeed, there is one: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=980788. This bug report links to a merge request: https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/initramfs-tools/-/merge_requests/41. I suggest that you add a comment at those two places (you might need to create an account on salsa.debian.org). Since you can describe exactly your use-case, and which modules are needed, this will be a very welcome contribution already. Regarding the PXE boot docs, if you have a bit of time, feel free to improve the doc and open a MR at https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/documentation/kali-docs/-/tree/master/installation/network-pxe. I personally never did PXE boot, so I can't document that. |
