Bug#754093: debian-installer: ppc64el: ping / vmlinuz
Package: src:debian-installer
Tags: patch
Hi,
Would you have any news/comments about the patch attached in this bug?
We would like to switch the kernel on ppc64el to vmlinuz starting with
3.16 (introduction of zImage support for 64el).
I am attaching an interdiff for that, on top of the previous patch,
and a full debdiff for your convenience.
I could successfully build d-i on ppc64el w/ those changes (plus adding
a build-dep on grub-ieee1275-bin, apparently missed, for grub-mknetdir),
on the debdiff.
$ tar tf debian-installer-images_20140802ppc64el1_ppc64el.tar.gz |
fgrep vmlinu
./installer-ppc64el/20140802ppc64el1/images/cdrom/vmlinuz
./installer-ppc64el/20140802ppc64el1/images/netboot/debian-installer/ppc64el/vmlinuz
The respective bug on the linux source package has been filled on
Debian #759389 (and Ubuntu LP #1358920).
Thanks!
