I can see that that's the way it has been done until now. So probably this is the way the d-i team wants this to be done. But to me it seems a bit strange to scatter all these device dependant thing into all these different packages (partman, flash-kernel, ...). I would prefer a design where we have one device specific udeb which contains all the helper scripts that plug into the infrastructure provided by the base d-i components like partman. Like this we could only include them in those images that actually use them. > > But does partman-ext3/check.d/ext2_or_ext3_boot, which already exists, > not do what you're to do or can be extended to? IIRC this only ensures that /boot is ext2 or ext3. But uboot seems to be unable to boot from an unclean ext3 partition. But unclean shutdowns may be quite common on phonse :-(. Therefore I would prefer a solution where /boot is on ext2 only. Gaudenz Please CC me on replies if you want a reply from me as I'm on vacation and don't read this list atm. -- Ever tried.
