It's a valid point; also, the kernel changes ABI so frequently that you'd probably have a couple of ABIs as backup kernels. BTW: installing a linux-image works fine in a qemu-backed chroot; I do that all the time. The one catch is that if one has the system configured to run flash-kernel, that will break. But for images I create myself, I usually qemu-debootstrap + install a linux-image.deb and that works fine. It would work equally well on an installed system, but one has to remember to disable the flash-kernel step before installing a new kernel .deb. -- Loïc Minier _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
