Hi,
Well the issue that I just realized thanks to Guillaume is that with u-boot we don't have different choices to choose from.
All other bootloaders allow us to specify a bunch of options the user is able to select from. We define an entry called "Linux 3.2-rc3" and then the user can select that one. We define an entry called "Linux 3.3" and the user can select one or the other.
For u-boot, we can not define preconfigured choices. Well, we can, but we don't. Right now we create a boot.script that loads one kernel - exactly one. It doesn't give you the choice you would usually get from other bootloaders, at which point we could just as well default to the "default" kernel currently installed - uImage and uInitrd.
If we want to integrate with how it's done with other bootloaders, we'd probably need to define several macros for each kernel entry that the user can then execute from the u-boot command line. And by default we'd execute the "default" macro.
But until we have that, it's probably the best for kiwi to create a boot.scr that takes the symlinks as their default kernel choice, so updates work at all :).
That's fine for me. Could you open a bugzilla entry for this one so I'm going to change this in kiwi Thanks Regards, Marcus -- Public Key available gpg --keyserver gpg-keyserver.de --recv-keys 0xCCE3C6A2 ------------------------------------------------------- Marcus Schäfer (Res. & Dev.)
