Description Azamat H. Hackimov 2023-07-31 19:36:45 UTC
Created attachment 866757 [details, diff]
0001-Introduce-basearch-settings.patch

When custom subarch is defined ("core2", for example), it will override hostarch, and all logic for creation bootloader entries and ISO image will be broken. Introduced basearch variable that may used for these cases.
Added some die statement in some case switches for default values to prevent silent failure.

I can confirm this issue, I have that problem with cell subarch from ppc64 family.
