I'm not on the kernel team, but I'm not sure what would make this flavor invalid w/ HWE. The xgene-uboot flavor is merely a wrapped version of the -generic kernel. This kernel works fine on the target platform, once you can get it installed.
** Changed in: maas Status: Expired => New ** Description changed: When trying to deploy Moonshot nodes, the sub-arch must be set to xgene- uboot for it to be deployed with GA kernel.
