etch's aboot doesn't permit booting recent 2.6 kernels. While backporting a fix for this issue, I ran into a couple of other build issues that prevent etch's aboot from being rebuilt properly.
The proposed patch for this update and more detailed explanations are available here: http://lists.debian.org/debian-alpha/2008/05/msg00026.html This package is currently orphaned, but the previous maintainer did comment: http://lists.debian.org/debian-alpha/2008/05/msg00027.html Other than the testing I mentioned above, I've also had successful test reports from Bdale and Tim Cutts (on albeniz.d.o, iirc). This is obviously a requirement for alpha support in etchnhalf since 2.6.24 adds the ELF header incompatability. (Though releasing w/o alpha support is an option as well). -- dann frazier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
