Problem is that I don't know anything about these architectures (beyond the theoretical part) so I need to rely on the feedback I get from those architecture teams. Without feedback, no changes :( Will CC affected arches to let us know how their guides should be fixed Arches, any news on this? This is probably the main blocker for getting newer udev stabilized (and then, udisks2 and newer gvfs versions...) Thanks Well, all the arches that have livecds must have bootloaders that support initramfs. -arm: this is a special case. Its hard to have a generic handbook for arm. arm is very device-specific so each device is different in terms on passing the parameters to the bootloader -m68k/s390/sh: we don't even have docs, so its out of the equation I'll try to provide info for alpha/ia64/sparc, should be pretty straight forward. Thanks a lot Raul :) > -arm: this is a special case. Its hard to have a generic handbook for arm.

Also i just noticed the arm handbook is marked as deprecated...
On the other hand, in the "depends on" bugs there are the patches for alpha/ia64/sparc, so i think i'm done
PS: i'm removing the arches that don't have docs
fixed in CVS. split out the initramfs instructions to a cross-arch <include>, linked it into the doc, added <keyval> variables to handbook-*.xml for kernel/initrd versions. |
