Sorry, i meant debian-installer, and i thought installer was a shortcut to
that (maybe it should be made a shortcut even ?).

Anyway, contrary to what Colin believes, this was about the second issue,
which i was not sure what package was supposed to handle it, since i would
have guessed hw-detect, but Colin thinks discover1-data would have been best.
I am not sure, since i am not sure if the virtual scsi bus is exported via a
virtual pci bus or something else. I notice though that hw-detect is
supposedly doing some loading of the ibm virtual devices, so there is
something more fishy going on here.

I will not be able to do any kind of work on this until this WE or maybe even
two weeks on now, so i filed a bug report so this didn't get lost, but
apparently you guys not really care about other people (who are not paid to do
d-i work) being busy or making mistake, too bad.

This is the real issue.
