This https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/aarch64-on-raspberry-pi-2-rev-1-2 -3b-3b/16853/37 is currently what you have to do to use the armhf netboot installer on a pi 2/3B/3B+. The debian-installer has no knowledge of the raspi2 kernel (you can't force it to install it), nor does raspi2 have any udebs.
I want to try grub2 on armhf, but I can't with raspi2 because it doesn't have the right modules built in. I've had a bug raised on that for months. Supposedly 5 million 3B+ have been sold since March. That is a lot of potential Ubuntu users. However Ubuntu hasn't updated the firmware for well over a year and a half to allow the 3B+ to boot, nor has it added a flash-kernel database entry for the 3B+. U-boot used on the server image doesn't work with the 3B or 3B+. It's great that Ubuntu provides raspi2, but it doesn't actually provide any suitable media to install Ubuntu on the raspberry pi 3B/3B+. With aarch64 on raspberry pi you have the arm64 kernel and the 64 bit version of raspi2. I don't see why there can't be generic-lpae and raspi2 for 32 bit. Finally, the vc4 graphics driver is being continually updated and being stuck on the same kernel version is a pain. It would be great to be able to use the hw enablement stack kernels. They are generic-lpae. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1795869 Title: Generic-lpae unbootable on raspberry pi 3 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1795869/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
