[09:19] <marvin24> ppisati: seen https://launchpadlibrarian.net/183544214/buildlog_ubuntu-utopic-armhf.debian-installer_20101020ubuntu339_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz ?
[09:19] <marvin24> actually, the device tree isn't packed into the kernel-image anymore
[09:22] <ppisati> it was moved to /boot/$(uname -r)
[09:22] <ppisati> but there's a symlink from /boot/$(uname -r) to /lib/firmware/$(uname -r)
[09:22] <ppisati> so it shouldnt happen
[09:22] <ppisati> hold on
[09:24] <marvin24> ppisati: btw, you silently assume that the filesystem understands symlinks (some people still use fat for /boot partition)
[09:24] <marvin24> even worse, you assume the bootloader understands symlinks (which is not the case for u-boot)
[09:24] <marvin24> but that's a different problem
[09:24] <ppisati> ???
[09:24] <ppisati> yes it does
[09:24] <ppisati> i tested it
[09:25] <marvin24> which version?
[09:25] <ppisati> the utopic version
[09:25] <marvin24> of uboot?
[09:25] <ppisati> yes
[09:25]  * marvin24 didn't know that there is something like this
[09:25] <marvin24> uboot shouldn't be updated with the distro I think
[09:25] <ppisati> in fact
[09:26] <ppisati> the symlink is there just for flash-kernel
[09:26] <ppisati> uhm
[09:26] <ppisati> btw
[09:27] <ppisati> when you install a new kernel, flash-kernel is still run
[09:27] <ppisati> so if you don't modify your boot script
[09:27] <ppisati> nothing changes
[09:27] <ppisati> here is something completely different
[09:29] <marvin24> ppisati: well, I would be happy to be able to install a kernel :-)
[09:29] <marvin24> first the installer needs to be fixed
[09:29] <marvin24> I also have another question regard this (how the installer selects the kernel flavour), but this can also wait
[11:31] <ppisati> marvin24: i sent a revert for that patchset, i'll send a v2 and cc: you so you can raise your questions there
[11:36] <marvin24> ppisati: thanks
[11:36] <marvin24> I used the utopic installer on my tegra netbook
[11:36] <marvin24> everything went fine until it came to the kernel install
[11:37] <marvin24> there it says, can't find kernel flavour to install or something like this
[11:37] <marvin24> I guess there must be some hw detection which decides which flavour to use
[11:37] <marvin24> can you point me to some more infomation?
[11:48] <marvin24> I mean this one (with updated kernel) http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/utopic/main/installer-armhf/current/images/generic/netboot/tegra/
[13:14] <ppisati> honestly i don't know the installer enough
[13:14] <ppisati> infinity: maybe he knows the answer ^
[13:14] <ppisati> ogra_: or him ^
[13:18] <infinity> marvin24: Yeah, libdebian-installer (and some other bits) need to know how to detect your system, though we really should switch it to just defaulting to "generic" for anything it can't detect, and wing it.
[14:02] <marvin24> infinity: yes, generic would be nice (and the right one for me)
