Comment 10 for bug 671027

i dont know why you are raving so much now, i already said the patch looks fine to me and i'll include it in our flash-kernel if it doesnt go to debian before :)

flash-kernel is supporting separate partitions *by design*, there is nothing wrong about it, its whole purpose it to adjust to specific bootloader setups for specific boards if that is on NAND, a vfat partition, a raw or ext2 partition or whatever ...

i didnt mean to attack you (since your comment above indicates that you feel attacked) nor to tell you how to set up your boot stuff i was just commenting on whats there already...

what i meant with my comment about u-boot is that if you ever want to build ubuntu images "officially" (which i dont know if you will ever do it as i.e. a community build or some such) you will need a bootloader binary package in the archive and this binary should better come from the same source package as all others to not have additional maintenance overhead, john rigby would be the right person to talk to to get u-boot patches included in the source tree we use.
