   I am working on updating the installation guide for Jessie and

   As far as I can see, the mx5 kernel flavor from Wheezy/armhf is
   gone in Jessie and has been replaced by i.mx5x support in the
   armmp kernel.  Is this correct?
  
  Yes.
  
   If yes, it appears to me that we would need to update the
   flash-kernel machine database, which still refers to
   Kernel-Flavors: mx5 for the Freescale MX53 LOCO, the Genesi
   Efika Smartbook and the Genesi EfikaMX nettop.
  
  Hrm. Yes. I've just s/Kernel-Flavors: mx5/Kernel-Flavors: armmp mx5/g
  in git. I don't have any mx5 hardware so someone please confirm or deny.
 
 Thanks!
 
 Does anybody know whether the u-boot on the Freescale MX53 LOCO
 board supports booting with a seperate dtb or whether the dtb has
 to be appended to the kernel image?

I don't know I'm afraid.

 If the latter, we would have
 to also add a DTB-Append to the machine entry.

Correct.

 I have tried to gather information about the two Efika systems. 
 As far as I could find out, there seems to be no devicetree for
 them.  The old-style board support code has been removed from the
 kernel in october 2012, but grepping arch/arm/boot/dts for Genesi
 and Efika does not give any hits and a websearch has also
 provided no devicetree files for them.

Strange that the board files were removed without replacement. It might
be worth mailing the author of the removal patch to find out what is
going on.

[...]
 The installer currently builds a set of images for the efikamx
 target (in debian-installer/installer/build/config/armhf/armmp).
 If these systems are no longer supported, those image builds
 should be disabled. CC-ing debian-boot for this.

IIRC Hector has something to do with these.

 [...]
 I have added a notice to the installation guide about the
 possibility (and limitations) of using d-i on unsupported
 systems for which the armmp kernel has enough hardware support
 and a devicetree file is available.

Sounds good (nb: I've not looked at the actual text)

 Another system question - the d-i alpha 1 announcement states:
 
  Hardware support changes
  
  [snip]
  * armhf: The armmp flavour has been added; it covers both mx5 and
vexpress.
 
 Because of this I was going to list the versatile express as
 supported platform in the installation guide, but I have stumbled
 over the fact that it is not listed in the flash-kernel machine
 database, which makes me wonder about its status. Can anybody
 shed some light on this?

AFAIU vexpress does not boot via u-boot and has it's own special

Bug#619236: debian PS3 installation kboot.conf needed

2014-03-20 Thread Wouter Verhelst
Op maandag 3 maart 2014 10:38:12 schreef Antonio Ospite:
 kboot-utils is in Debian[1] already, all that is missing is to find a
 way to tell the installer:
 
   if this system is a PS3, then install kboot-utils
 
 Can anyone suggest where this kind of logic can be added in d-i?
 I didn't manage to allocate enough time to look deeper into that.

If the PS3 needs some special partitioning (it's been a while since I 
upgraded my PS3 to something that can't run Linux anymore, so I don't 
remember) then I would suggest a partman module.

If not, I guess finish-install is the best place to do it.

 have updated their translations. (I think that's where smart changes
 could help, but I can't look into it right now, sorry.)

The patch above adds an additional word, thus that word needs to be added to 
the translations as well. So translators have to do that them-self.

I will commit that, if noone objects...

  We discovered this in Debian Edu based on testing using d-i udebs from
  unstable.  See
  URL: 
  http://jenkins.debian.net/view/edu/job/g-i-installation_debian-edu_jessie_standalone/
   
  for a automatic test of such installation.
  
  The change introduced in version 1.86 added a new question in Debian
  Installer, causing the installation to hang at the end asking where to
  install grub.  This used to work automatically, but now require people
  to fill in a value, and [enter] do not work.
 
 Not in every case, that's why the question was added in the first place!
 
 I haven't looked whether one can preseed it like other questions. If it
 isn't possible, that should be fixed.

It looks bootdev could be preseeded[1], at least for a test for a VM
preseed the following worked for me:

d-i grub-installer/bootdev string /dev/vda

 [1] https://bugs.debian.org/666974

But having string (hd0) does not seem to work here (have not checked
why), which would be nicer to have more generalised preseed files as
previous possible (for say when having machines having a /dev/vda or a
/dev/sda ...).

Petter, does this also work for you?

Salvatore

First of all, I'm not familiar with d-i best practices. So maybe the
following won't make sense.

We could imagine either proposing another variable which would take
specifications like “(hd0)” and do what's needed to convert them back to
/dev/foo stuff, or detect (based on what? parens?) when a conversion is
needed for the bootdev variable that was passed, and do that.

On booting vexpress...

There is an upstream U-Boot for vexpress when its fitted with an A9x4
CoreTile (pluggable CPU module) and various out-of-tree hacks for other
CoreTiles, but it's best to consider vexpress as 'special' as the vendor
(ARM Ltd) supplies it's own simple custom bootloader with the board and
is promoting UEFI as a the boot-loader of the future. Basically, there
are many constantly evolving variables of possible firmware version and
configurations its best not to try and support any particular one.
However, having the kernel, initrd and dtbs available in an easily
discoverable place in the generated Debian filesystem would be good. For
Linaro file system images (based on Open Embedded, Ubuntu and Android)
we try and put the initrd, zImage and dtbs in the boot partition, so at
least it's fairly simple to point whatever bootloader the user uses at
the right bits, or can find them to put into flash memory or wherever
else they need to go.

Hardware support changes

   Because of this I was going to list the versatile express as
   supported platform in the installation guide, but I have stumbled
   over the fact that it is not listed in the flash-kernel machine
   database, which makes me wonder about its status. Can anybody
   shed some light on this?
  
  AFAIU vexpress does not boot via u-boot and has it's own special
  firmware. Therefore I don't think flash-kernel support is
  possible/needed.
 
 On booting vexpress...
 
 There is an upstream U-Boot for vexpress when its fitted with an A9x4
 CoreTile (pluggable CPU module) and various out-of-tree hacks for other
 CoreTiles, but it's best to consider vexpress as 'special' as the vendor
 (ARM Ltd) supplies it's own simple custom bootloader with the board and
 is promoting UEFI as a the boot-loader of the future. Basically, there
 are many constantly evolving variables of possible firmware version and
 configurations its best not to try and support any particular one.

Also I suspect most vexpress systems are actually QEMU's emulation,
which appears to support direct boot only, i.e. the files must be
installed on the host.

 However, having the kernel, initrd and dtbs available in an easily
 discoverable place in the generated Debian filesystem would be good. For
 Linaro file system images (based on Open Embedded, Ubuntu and Android)
 we try and put the initrd, zImage and dtbs in the boot partition, so at
 least it's fairly simple to point whatever bootloader the user uses at
 the right bits, or can find them to put into flash memory or wherever
 else they need to go.

Kernels and initramfses will be in /boot, as for most Linux
distributions.  However, we currently install DTBs in
/usr/lib/package-name.  Maybe it would be helpful to copy the latest
applicable DTB into /boot, on some machines.

One of the nice things about standards is that there are so many of them.
