Hi I've tested the kernel changes to enable Renesas RZ platform serial installer. This is working now.
Please note that this change affects the installation media to install them on Renesas RZ platform. Please include the changes into the source code and change the status to 'verification-done-jammy-linux-nvidia-6.2'.

The installation can be done using HDMI ports, but it would be nice to support installation via serial port as well. [Test case] Try to install Ubuntu on a Renesas board. [Fix] Statically build SuperH SCI(F) serial port support (with earlyconsole). [Regression potential] Statically building an additional driver in the kernel can make the kernel image bigger, potentially causing boot issues in small (arm64 / armhf) platforms. [Original bug report] Package: linux Version: Ubuntu-6.2.0-21.21 Severity: normal File: /mantic/debian.master/config/annotations Dear Maintainer, The ubuntu kernel is missing a few configuration options for Renesas RZ/G2M MPU as below: #Modify the following config from m to y. CONFIG_SERIAL_SH_SCI=y #add below configuration CONFIG_SERIAL_SH_SCI_CONSOLE=y CONFIG_SERIAL_SH_SCI_EARLYCON=y The above changes are required in annotations file: "/mantic/debian.master/config/annotations" code location: https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu- kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/mantic/tree/debian.master/config/annotations#n11372 #Modify the following line (change 'm' to 'y') CONFIG_SERIAL_SH_SCI policy<{'arm64': 'y', 'armhf': 'y'}> #Add the following lines: CONFIG_SERIAL_SH_SCI_CONSOLE policy<{'arm64': 'y', 'armhf': 'y'}> CONFIG_SERIAL_SH_SCI_EARLYCON policy<{'arm64': 'y', 'armhf': 'y'}> Could you please add those configuration options to the Ubuntu kernel?
