Package: mknbi Version: 1.4.4-11 Severity: normal Tags: upstream from http://etherboot.org/wiki/doc
NBI, Etherboot and Linux 2.6 Unfortunately, mknbi cannot be used to make a NBI of a Linux 2.6 (or newer) kernel image. If you are tied to Etherboot but need to boot a Linux 2.6 or newer kernel, wraplinux must be used to create a working NBI. This appears be the only issue in an otherwise stable package, and given a upstream recommended alternative, I recommend adding a note to the man page, and since wraplinux is packaged for debian that it be recommended to minimize frustration. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 4.2.0-1-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages mknbi depends on: ii perl 5.22.1-4 mknbi recommends no packages. mknbi suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
