Mmm, i suppose we need a base-installer modification here, right ?

Well, the apus kernel doesn't boot on Simon's apus hardware, which is the only
one who tested this, but i will see if i wipe up a 2.4.27 kernel for apus. The
apus patches in the apus CVS are upto 2.4.26 only though.

So, basically, as far as only kernels are concerned :
2.4.25 still present on : hppa, partly m68k and powerpc/apus.
Apus has no 2.4.27 kernels in the archive, but as far as i am concerned, we
can just drop it and solve this issue. I will try to do a 2.4.27 kernel
though, for completeness, and because i haven't lost hope that Simon will be
able to fix the issues, which seems more boot-loader related than kernels
related.
Are there already 2.4.27 hppa kernels .debs in the archive ? And what is the
m68k situation with regard to 2.4.27 kernels again in .debs and not .udebs.
All in all, i think the situation is less problematic than it feared, at least
as far as kernel .debs go.
