Bug#517121: debian-installer: installs linux-image-2.6-486 instead of linux-image-2.6-686 with a VIA C7-D Processor

[Petter Reinholdtsen] The code has changed slighly in svn. This patch seem to match the previous proposal, updated and made relative to the current svn. Except that it was not against the current svn. I was looking at the wrong version. Ignore this patch and look at the one from Christian instead. I believe this patch seem sensible, and am positive to commit it to svn. Still positive, thougth. But I do not really know the Via CPUs. :) Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#517121: debian-installer: installs linux-image-2.6-486 instead of linux-image-2.6-686 with a VIA C7-D Processor
Package: debian-installer Severity: normal debian-installer selects and does not allow changing the 486 kernel. This processor supports a 686 kernel, and also the 486 kernel has some drawbacks such as not supporting more than 1GB of RAM. It showld detect the processor and install by default the corresponding kernel. Though it can be changed later with: # aptitude install linux-image-2.6-686 below is the output of cat /proc/cpuinfo with this processor: processor : 0 vendor_id : CentaurHauls cpu family : 6 model : 13 model name : VIA C7-D Processor 1500MHz stepping: 0 cpu MHz : 1499.990 cache size : 128 KB fdiv_bug: no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug: no coma_bug: no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge cmov pat clflush acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 tm nx up pni xtpr rng rng_en ace ace_en ace2 ace2_en phe phe_en pmm pmm_en bogomips: 3002.89 clflush size: 64 power management: -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
