We need to build Desktop images for these machines, on a regular basis, to run the certification suites. Right now the kernel we need is `linux-nvidia-hwe-24.04-edge`, but I'm anticipating that it will be `linux-nvidia-hwe-24.04` at some point so this should be possible to configure. + + * The resolution involves adding a subarchitecture (SUBARCH) option in + Desktop images which, when provided, will behave accordingly. a CHANNEL + option can also be provided to add the channel. + + [ Test Plan ] + + 1. Create a Desktop ISO. It will contain the generic kernel. + 2. Create a Desktop ISO with the proposed package. It will contain the generic kernel too. + 3. Create a Desktop ISO after mentioning subarch=nvidia in the metadatas. The kernel should now be nvidia's. + 4. Create a Desktop ISO after mentioning subarch=nvidia in the metadatas.
