I've confirmed that a base-installer change is unnecessary; base- installer/kernel/altmeta=lts-backport-maverick works fine.
I've added the necessary kernel images to the Lucid DVD images, and I'm going to change the debian-installer build system to generate several new images, called maverick-cdrom, maverick-netboot, etc.; these will use the backported kernel during installation, and will also be preconfigured to install the backported kernel on the target system. Until linux-lts-backport-maverick 2.6.35-23.41~lucid1 and linux-meta- lts-backport-maverick 2.6.35.23.35 are promoted to lucid-updates, it will be necessary to add apt-setup/proposed=true as an installer boot parameter to test this. ** Changed in: base-installer (Ubuntu Lucid) Status: Triaged => Invalid ** Changed in: base-installer (Ubuntu Lucid) Milestone: ubuntu-10.04.2 => None ** Changed in: base-installer (Ubuntu Lucid) Assignee: Colin Watson (cjwatson) => (unassigned) ** Changed in: base-installer (Ubuntu Lucid) Importance: High => Undecided ** Changed in: debian-installer (Ubuntu Lucid) Status: Triaged => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/607657 Title: Lucid point release installer must support LTS backported Kernels -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
