So I want to install a Debian kernel on that unbootable partition. But
how to install a kernel on a partition that is not booted? With
chroot? Is that ever done?


I've done it with chroot a few times. Should work generally just fine.

If you are really desperate, boot it with qemu and install the package
there.


I hadn' t thought of using qemu. Interesting. Thanks

Hugo
