I have Debian Server with DRBL, my problem with adapter is a device that need modules: xhci-hcd and r8152.

I'm run this command:

mknic-nbi -k 5.18.0-0.deb11.3-amd64 -m 'xhci-hcd xhci-pci r8152 nvme-core' -t initramfs -v

But these modules are not in /tftpboot/nbi_img/initrd-pxe.5.18.0-0.deb11.3-amd64.img .

¿How I can include these modules on initrd for kernel boot on "HP FireFly G8" with "HP USB-C to RJ45 Adapter G2"

Please run drbl-bug-report and post the generated file.
With that, it's easier for us to try to reproduce this issue.
Thanks.

  The problem is fixed when unpack initrd, add modules and modify /etc/modules , pack and copy file. Example:
  
  cp /tftpboot/nbi_img/initrd-pxe.5.18.0-0.deb11.3-amd64.img /tmp/borrame cd /tmp/borrame file initrd-pxe.5.18.0-0.deb11.3-amd64.img mv initrd-pxe.5.18.0-0.deb11.3-amd64.img initrd-pxe.5.18.0-0.deb11.3-amd64.img.gz gunzip initrd-pxe.5.18.0-0.deb11.3-amd64.img.gz file initrd-pxe.5.18.0-0.deb11.3-amd64.img cpio -idv < ../initrd-pxe.5.18.0-0.deb11.3-amd64.img rm initrd-pxe.5.18.0-0.deb11.3-amd64.img
  
  Modify etc/modules :
  
  usbcore usb_common mii xhci_hcd xhci-pci r8152 sd_mod crc64 crc64_rocksoft crct10dif_generic crct10dif_common crc_t10dif crc32c_intel t10_pi sd_mod nvme-core
  
  Copy new modules and pack initrd:
  
  find . | cpio -H newc -o | gzip -9 > ../initrd.img-new cp /tmp/initrd.img-new /tftpboot/nbi_img/initrd-pxe.5.18.0-0.deb11.3-amd64.img
