Let's look at sizing, then. The lucid server CD (last built on 2010-11-24) currently has 18345984 bytes free on amd64 and 27488256 bytes free on i386. Any one of the -lts-backport-maverick kernels exceeds both of these by some margin: the smallest non-virtual kernel is 33742668 bytes (generic on i386). Oddly, -virtual is actually bigger than that, but never mind ...
This doesn't leave me with many options. I can't add the backported kernel to the point release server CDs without removing something else, which is a tricky proposition in a point release. We haven't actually been building DVDs for point releases, but I should be able to add them to DVDs anyway. Or we can just leave this to netboot installations only, add it to the boot menu, and document it for PXE-booters. What do you think? Per comment #3, we also need to build installer kernel/initrd variants based on the backported kernels. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/607657 Title: Lucid point release installer must support LTS backported Kernels -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
