Below is a patch for debian-installer to build cdrom-xen variants for
i386 and amd64. If nobody objects I would like to commit this to the
d-i repository.
I'd like to test it first. The fan of my notebook needs replacing, so that
may take a few days.
No problem, thanks.
A few other things are also needed to get a final result which is
actually usable. I wasn't bothering about these explicitly since they
will happen in the routine course of things.
Firstly the i386 and amd64 kernel udebs need to be rebuilt against a
kernel package = 2.6.30-4 in order to pick up a bug fix which prevents
the kernel from booting under Xen.
Secondly an updated udev package is needed in order for d-i to detect
the CD correctly. Marco is working on a new upstream which includes this
and says it'll be done in a few weeks. I've been using a rebuild of the
current version in sid with the necessary patches applied, debdiff is
below.
Ian.
