Yes I wrote the instructions on the raspberry pi wiki about how to boot
arm64.  But I'm not talking about that here.

Raspberry pi is now supposedly fully supported in the Linux kernel -
https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2018/08/linux-4-18-kernel-release-features -
but I don't want to have to go through the pain of compiling this.

I would like generic-lpae support for the reasons I outlined in the
first post.  Currently Ubuntu only provides one install media for the pi
which is the server image (which doesn't work on the pi3 anyway).

I would like to get armhf fully working (or closer to) in the debian-
installer/ubiquity.  I'm willing to work on patches, but I only have a
pi3 to work with.

It is also very hard to get changes/patches accepted in raspi2 packages.
Generic-lpae seems better supported.

Title:
  Generic-lpae unbootable on raspberry pi 3

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I've been trying to boot the generic-lpae kernel on my pi 3B.  I've
  tried via U-boot and the pi's built in bootloader, but without
  success.  There seems to be something inherently missing from the
  kernel.  There are no bcm dtb files under armhf, but they are there
  for arm64.  Using the one from arm64 with generic-lpae still fails to
  boot.

  Without the use of generic-lpae it is very hard to use the
  mini/netboot installer.  It also means there is no hardware enablement
  stack on raspberry pi.

  Debian has had the ability to boot generic-lpae on the pi2 since 2015
  I think!
