Some comments:
- Machines needing the DELO boot loader are no longer supported but
I guess it doesn't hurt to have it there.
(BTW, is there a reason we list all these boot loaders in
temp.image.plain/postinst?)
- Support for CoLo is needed (Cobalt machines). A patch is below.
It generates a good boot config. Hmm, actually, there is a
problem: it won't boot. mips/mipsel don't use a ramdisk and the
kernel doesn't like root=UUID=... I guess the solution is to
convert hdaX to sdaX. Comments? (The same problem applies to
delo/arcboot but there we could simply skip the UUID conversion
since the machines use SCSI anyway and so have always used sdaX)
- I wonder if you should run "update-initramfs -u" on machines
where flash-kernel is installed and `flash-kernel --supported` is true
(the root device is stored in the ramdisk).
- grub1_update on line 308 has:
if (defined(my $new_value = kernel_update($value))) {
Don't you have to pass $map to kernel_update() as the 2nd paramter?
