Add a clear installer option to select a 64KB page kernel.

I believe this should be offered in expert mode, have you tried that?

AFAICS linux-image-powerpc64le-64k is not included in the DVD-1 image, so it requires a network mirror. Same with linux-image-arm64-16k.

Thinking twice, DVD-1 and netinst images set up a network mirror only
after installing the base system, so they only offer kernel flavours
included in installation images. Only netboot images set up a network
mirror before installing the base system and offer all kernel
flavours.


Hi Team,

I tested both the “Expert Install” workflow using the Trixie netinst ISO and the DVD installer for ppc64el. In both cases, only the 4K page-size kernel was available—there was no option to select the 64K kernel. As Pascal noted, the installer can only offer kernels that are already present on the ISO.

Could you please include the linux-image-ppc64le-64k package on the ppc64el installation ISOs for Trixie? This change would enable users to choose the 64K kernel directly during installation and ensure a smoother out-of-the-box experience on Power hardware.

Thanks Trupti
