It's an alternative, but boot.scr remains a valid option and is what we support in Jessie. > but I > couldn't find anything to automatically generate them in Debian. > > Long story short, I manually "manually" == with debootstrap from a host system or some other way? > installed Debian Jessie (as well as linux-image-4.0.0-2-armmp and u > -boot from u-boot-sunxi=2015.04+dfsg1-2) on an > A20-OLinuXino-LIME2 from Olimex but couldn't get it to boot (even with the > boot.scr created by flash-kernel when invoked in a chroot with > “FK_MACHINE="Olimex A20-OLinuXino-LIME2" flash-kernel”) until I created the > simple /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf file attached. This is a bug, the boot.scr method is expected to work and should be supported for this system, since there is a db entry. If it is broken we'd like to know the details of how please, including full logs if possible. > I'm not sure whether flash-kernel is the correct package to implement this > feature, but there should be a way to automaticaly generate such files. The extlinux packages support generating these files, that support just needs to be split out and made non-x86 specific I think. That support shouldn't be duplicated in flash-kernel.
