True. Actually there are two flavours, 4kc-malta for 32-bit kernels, and 5kc-malta for 64-bit kernels. Those flavours will replace the qemu flavour that will be removed in kernel 2.6.24, now that QEMU emulates real hardware correctly. > If you do need a separate kernel, are official Debian kernel packages > available for that flavor? Yes, they are available. 4kc-malta is available in the official Debian kernel package since version 2.6.21, and 5kc-malta since version 2.6.23. > And in that case I would also expect changes in base-installer to be needed > (the kernel selection part), if only the addition of a test case for Malta.
