You are right, except there are powerpc platforms where kexec is supported. I think the error message Unsupported platform is the best we can do with powerpc since it makes no sense to stop building kexec-tools for powerpc just because it is not supported on every powerpc platform. -- === Khalid Aziz kha...@debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
