Re: PReP support for mkvmlinuz & kernel-image 2.6

[Sven Luther <sven.luther@wanadoo.fr>]

Ok,

i had the oportunity to try this out with real packages now, and noticed
some stuff needed fixing, which i did. Here is the new mkvmlinuz
attached.

Still the powerpc kernels i built behave strangely, and don't generate
the initrd, which probably means i should not reboot until this is
fixed. The kernel-package initrd scripts behave strangely, and produce
this kind of stuff :

$ more /var/lib/dpkg/info/kernel-image-2.6.7-powerpc.postinst
#!/bin/sh
set -e
# Automatically added by dh_installmodules
if [ "$1" = "configure" ] && [ -x /sbin/update-modules ]; then
        update-modules >/dev/null
fi
# End automatically added section

Which i think is utterly broken.

Jens, any idea on what is going on ? Or you Manoj ?

Also, Jens, what is your plan for the release of these packages ?

Friendly,

Sven Luther
