There is also setarch or uname26: http://mirror.linux.org.au/linux/kernel/people/ak/uname26/uname26.c See bug #700884. With an experimental (two-number version) kernel debootstrap fails: # debootstrap lenny lenny http://archive.debian.org/debian But with uname26, it succeeds: # uname26 debootstrap lenny lenny http://archive.debian.org/debian Or setarch: # setarch x86_64 --uname-2.6 debootstrap lenny lenny http://archive.debian.org/debian It would be nice if debootsrap automatically used one of those for older known broken releases.
