An update of the table of kernel versions. This time I've added a column
for debian-cd, which reflects the kernel(s) that go on the netinst (from
the debian-installer+kernel file). Quite a mess there, the rest of the
updates to the new kernel are done, except for hppa and apus. I've still
not checked to see what kernel-images are available in testing yet.
arch udebs build/config rootskel base-installer debian-cd

m68k 2.2.25/2.4.27 2.2.25/2.4.27 2.4.25/2.4.27
mips 2.4.27 2.4.27 2.4.26 [7]
mipsel 2.4.27 2.4.27 2.4.26 [8]
powerpc 2.4.27/2.6.8 2.4.27/2.6.8 2.4.27/2.6.8 2.4.25/2.6.7 [9]
apus 2.4.25 2.4.25 2.4.25 [2] none
s390 2.4.27 2.4.27 2.4.27 N/A
sparc 2.4.27/2.6.8 2.4.27/2.6.8 2.4.26 [11]
[1] Note hppa is still using 2.4.25 for the d-i initrds. This will
break as soon as 2.4.25 udebs are removed from the archive..
[2] Hi apus.. (bye apus?)
[3] Note older 2.4.26 alpha kernel on CD, and it has 2.6 kernels for some
reason.
[4] Does not seem to be in debian-cd CVS
[5] I checked and the arm netinst CD really has no kernel deb on it at all!
[6] So hppa is fully out of sync between 2.4.2[5-7] kernels.
[7] Mips out of date on CD.
[8] Mipsel too..
[9] Powerpc CD outdated for both kernels. No apus kernels.
[10] No s390 cds.
[11] Sparc cds have old 2.4 kernel and no 2.6.
I think this is not as bad as it looks, because apparently the
debian-installer+kernel file is locally updated as part of the daily
netinst build process. So newer kernels are included in that version for
most architectures than what is listed in debian-cd cvs. A spot check of
sparc shows that its daily netinsts really have 2.4.27. I wonder what
that file is in CVS at all actually since it is automatically generated.
