Due to #922478, the debian-installer images for stretch are currently not bootable on the armhf architecture. While the linux kernel packages have been fixed in stretch-updates and stretch-proposed-updates, the debian-installer images still were built with the broken kernel. Even rebuilding the debian-installer images, while pulling in a working kernel that would boot, debian-installer would load .udeb modules from stretch, not stretch-updates. This might be ok for hd-media targets or targets that do not load module .udeb files from the network, but netboot targets are not likely to work at all. So some of the options at the moment appear to be: * Wait for another point release, rebuild debian-installer, leaving debian-installer on armhf broken until then. How long till the next point release? * Rebuild the debian-installer images, pulling in updates from stretch-updates, leaving only armhf netboot targets broken. * Another point release with the kernel update sooner than planned, and rebuild debian-installer images. * Other options? In the future, I plan on setting up at least one or two of armhf machines running stable-proposed-updates to try to catch this sort of thing before release... live well, vagrant
