Subject: [PATCH OSSTEST v8 10/14] Debian: Handle lack of bootloader support in d-i on ARM.
Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2015 13:30:58 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1436358662-12886-10-git-send-email-ian.campbell@citrix.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1436358648.23508.32.camel@citrix.com>

Debian doesn't currently know what bootloader to install in a Xen
guest on ARM. We install pv-grub-menu above which actually does what
we need, but the installer doesn't treat that as a "bootloader".

Most ARM platforms end up installing a u-boot boot.scr, based on a
platform whitelist. This doesn't seem appropriate for us. Grub is not
available for arm32. For arm64 we will eventually end up with in-guest
UEFI and therefore grub-efi and things will work normally. I'm not
sure what the answer is going to be for arm32.

This patch enables the workaround for Wheezy, Jessie and Sid,
post-Jessie should be enabled as we add them. (Pre-wheezy does not
support running as a Xen guest on ARM so we don't test them at all).
