+ Add "FORCE_FIRMWARE=1" to CONF.sh to turn this on
+ Will pick up on packages in the "firmware" task and install them
+ Will also add sym-links to them in CD1/firmware so that new d-i code
can find them easily.
+ Will add a short sentence into README.html/README.txt
* Add top-level control of which checksums are desired for output images
see the CHECKSUMS setting in CONF.sh
* Fix some bashisms in tools/apt-selection.
though it is now only a dependency package.
* Add firmware-linux-free to firmware list, as a convenient way to make
it available along with the other firmware files. (It could, instead,
be included directly in d-i images, if there were a udeb.)
Closes: 566561
The old setup worked fine with an ext2 initrd but fails with an initramfs,
either because autodetection is different for initramfs or because of kernel
changes (I suspect the first).
This means that booting s390 from CD has not worked since sometime during the
Etch release cycle, even though support for booting from CD was only added
early in that cycle - ouch.
For booting with an initramfs initrd we apparently need to specify its
offset and size at specific memory locations.
Change is based on SuSE's CD boot. Many thanks to Adam Thornton, Mark Post
(of Novell) and Bastian Blank for providing the pointers to the missing bits.
This fixes booting from CD using the d390.ins file; tested in Hercules for
both Lenny (31-bit kernel) and Squeeze (64-bit kernel).
Booting from CD using the d390.tdf file may still be broken (if possible at
all) as I have no idea how to test that.
didn't gave any result. This is useful when using partial mirrors built by
simple-cdd while trying to build a Debian CD using a newer d-i (in my case
etch CD with lenny d-i).
* Use dpkg --fsys-tarfile instead of ar for extracting files from deb
packages. The previous invocation could have failed for packages using
something other than gzip compression.
Patch from Ian Campbell.
It seems that "apt-cache depends" recently (as of 0.7.22) started
including Enhances lines in its output. Leading to:
Generating dependency tree with apt-cache depends...
UNEXPECTED: Line ` Enhances: kvm
' while parsing end of deptree from 'kvm-source'
[etc....]
Ignore these lines.
