Re: r14366 - trunk/packages/base-installer/debian

[Joey Hess]

These sparc kernels are not in testing yet; if I read the code right,
base installer will blindly pick the first kernel it can find if the
preferred one is not available (sparc does not have a fallback kernel
set in debian-installer/kernel/image). If you're lucky it may manage to
find a kernel that seems to match the installer's kernel. Is this a safe
change to be making at this point in the beta4 release process?
