Mac subarch users don't need to see vme kernels.
What about chrp and chrp-rs6k on powerpc ? chrp users don't really want to see the chrp-rs6k variant, as it will not work for them. I understand your interest in selecting a range of kernels, but this sounds like a hacky way to achieve that. It would be better to notice that a kernel is composed of : kernel-image (common part) - 2.4.22 (version number) - powerpc (build configuration or flavour) - chrp (powerpc subarch boot-loader format) And do some parsing to detect the version/flavours, which can be intercheangeable, while the subarch flavor is determined by hardware detection. BTW, who broke the unstable base/kernel-installer ? It defaults to installing the apus kernel on chrp_pegasos, while it worked well a bit over a week ago.
