d-i is not capable of using a foreign arch kernel. Multiarch support in d-i has been promised for many years but is still vaporware, and even if it comes, it deals with packages for the installed system rather than kernel for booting d-i itself. Thus, my version of the x32 port uses native kernel udebs; using foreign ones would be possible in principle but would 1. require a large amount of work, and 2. be fragile because of the need to force a kernel cmdline string at all times. Such a set of udebs exists on http://debian-x32.org; the patches are still rotting in the BTS. I guess I should re-check then and ping; I admit I haven't looked at new d-i development in several months though. > If that really is the case, since amd64 builds the linux-modules udeb, I'd > be perfectly happy to merge support there and fix this bug. Are you moving iscsi support there? Or is it going to be kept built by src:open-iscsi like currently? If the latter, building the udeb on x32 can't hurt release architectures... -- ⢎⣉⠂⠠⠤⡀⣄⠤⡀⠠⡅⠀⠤⡧⠄⡄⠀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠠⡅⠀⡠⠤⠄⠀⠀⠀⢴⠍⠀⡠⠤⡀⣄⠤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠤⡧⠄⣇⠤⡀⡠⠤⡀⠀⠀⠀⡄⠀⡄⡠⠤⡀⠠⠤⡀⡇⡠⠄⠀⠀⠀ ⠢⠤⠃⠪⠭⠇⠇⠀⠇⠀⠣⠀⠀⠣⠄⠨⠭⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠣⠀⠬⠭⠂⠀⠀⠀⠸⠀⠀⠣⠤⠃⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠣⠄⠇⠀⠇⠫⠭⠁⠀⠀⠀⠣⠣⠃⠫⠭⠁⠪⠭⠇⠏⠢⠄⠀⠄⠀ (https://github.com/kilobyte/braillefont for this hack)
