Package: flash-kernel
Severity: normal
syslinux-style /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf superseed boot.scr in recent u-boot
versions and seems to be the way forward for u-boot configuration, but I
couldn't find anything to automatically generate them in Debian.
Long story short, I manually installed Debian Jessie (as well as
linux-image-4.0.0-2-armmp and u-boot from u-boot-sunxi=2015.04+dfsg1-2) on an
A20-OLinuXino-LIME2 from Olimex but couldn't get it to boot (even with the
boot.scr created by flash-kernel when invoked in a chroot with
“FK_MACHINE="Olimex A20-OLinuXino-LIME2" flash-kernel”) until I created the
simple /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf file attached.
I'm not sure whether flash-kernel is the correct package to implement this
feature, but there should be a way to automaticaly generate such files.
