So, it's not kernel's fault. It seems to be installer fault which
does not generate correct vmlinuz image when not using separate /boot
partition. vmlinux, i know, is another thing. It's a "plain" image
meant to be ran from GRUB or yaboot. It cannot be run from OFW.
So, we can close this, probably with a notification to Installer
guys.
There is no need to close it. I'm reassigning to the relevant part of
the installer.
The particular partition/file-system layout reported in this bug report
cannot work.
This platform does not have a boot loader at all. Firmware knows how to
load kernel directly from affs1, ext2 or older implementations of ext3
file systems. It is possible to tweak options while creating ext3 with
current tools to make it work, but it is not worth the trouble.
In practice this means you have to have ext2 boot partition, to place
the kernel onto, for this machine to boot.
Installer correctly creates ext2 boot partition and ext4 root partition.
The identical mkinitramfs and mkvmlinuz commands are issued during
installation as those during kernel upgrades. The generated vmlinuz
loads and kernel works fine.
Closing this bug report. This is not a bug.
