The base-installer in cvs chooses kernel image using the debian-installer/kernel/image template from rootskel. I'm woundering how I am supposed to set up my install CD to use another kernel. Could anyone explain how this is supposed to adapt? One do not want to install the same kernel version when installing woody, sarge and sid.
There used to be some code in base-installer to choose kernel based in distribution and architecture. Now the code in rootskel only chooses based in architekture (and is missing a defaul value, I suggest the virtual package kernel-image. See patch). The kernel choosing logic should be able to pick the best kernel available. Any ideas on how to do this? On a side note, I believe we should change the default install kernel on i386 to 2.4.20.
