That's probably a separate project though
BTW, the reason for this is that it would make it somewhat easier to fallback to an older kernel on error, since you could just load and source boot.scr-$version. BTW, the u-boot guys seem to want to converg on using either the extlinux config file format or the BootloaderSpec[0] as the standard mechanism for configuring which kernel to use. THe former would probably be easier to support (since we could just refactor update-extlinux out of the existing x86 only package). Ian.
