as kernels under ppc linux are not compressed, they are usually called vmlinux instead of vmlinuz. installkernel does not recognize vmlinux and therefore creates the wrong link and does not move the old link Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.cd /usr/src/linux 2.build kernel 3.installkernel <kernel-version> vmlinux System.map /boot Actual Results: System.map and config are handled fine. vmlinux is copied to /boot/vmlinuz-<kernel-version> and link vmlinuz is created. Old vmlinux link is still there Expected Results: vmlinux should be copied to /boot/vmlinux-<kernel-version> and link vmlinux should be created. Old vmlinux link should be moved to vmlinux.old
Created attachment 16876 [details, diff] patch to installkernel - kernels on ppc are handled correctly the architecture is determined with arch in case of ppc - vmlinux is used otherwise it's vmlinuz
This script from debianutils is for i386-machines only. For ppc just follow our instructions how to install a kernel (it's just a simple copy and yaboot-action). Keep it short, I don't want to fix this bug.
