[d-i] Choosing the install kernel?
The base-installer in cvs chooses kernel image using the
debian-installer/kernel/image template from rootskel. I'm woundering
how I am supposed to set up my install CD to use another kernel.
Could anyone explain how this is supposed to adapt? One do not want
to install the same kernel version when installing woody, sarge and
sid.
There used to be some code in base-installer to choose kernel based in
distribution and architecture. Now the code in rootskel only chooses
based in architekture (and is missing a defaul value, I suggest the
virtual package kernel-image. See patch). The kernel choosing logic
should be able to pick the best kernel available. Any ideas on how to
do this?
On a side note, I believe we should change the default install kernel
on i386 to 2.4.20. Any objections?
