For arm64, we have a generic kernel that (modulo DTB) should work on all the supportable hardware, similar to i386 and amd64. I'd leave this section blank for arm64, like for the x86 maybe? Or would people rather see some text to describe the hardware as a single flavour, like for the ppc64el case? >and information about available boot methods at > >https://jenkins.debian.net/userContent/installation-guide/installation-guide-ppc64el/en/ch05s01.html >https://jenkins.debian.net/userContent/installation-guide/installation-guide-arm64/en/ch05s01.html > >would be nice.

This section is definitely going to need work for arm64, to describe both U-Boot and UEFI boot options across platforms. I'm looking it now, but it's going to need some time. I'm hoping to be able to re-use some of the existing content from amd64 and armhf, at least... -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com "I've only once written 'SQL is my bitch' in a comment.
