Package: debian-installer
Severity: important

SheevaPlug and GuruPlug images in jessie (and later) don't boot with
this error:

| Error: unrecognized/unsupported machine ID (r1 = 0x00000831).

See https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2015/05/msg00590.html

The problem is that the way these machines are handled in the kernel
has changed.  We now have to append a device tree blob (DTB) to the
kernel image in d-i.

I'll commit a patch soon.
