Hello,
I am currently working on better support for sunxi-based ARM systems
in d-i and flash-kernel. Thanks to Ian's backport of the sunxi AHCI
support from kernel 3.15rc1 into the Debian 3.14 kernel package (as
of linux-image-3.14-trunk-armmp_3.14.1-1~exp2_armhf.deb, currently
only available as source in git) it is now possible to run d-i on
Allwinner A10/A20-based systems like the Cubie{board,board2,truck}.
hoooraaaaay! congratulations. this is an awesome strategicI am currently working on better support for sunxi-based ARM systems

achievement. it will not stop people doing stupid things like forcing
their personal preferred settings onto others when distributing
ridiculously large (4gbyte) fixed size root images but it at least
provides an alternative... one that is a sub-5mbyte alternative at
that.
do you have a pre-built option or some instructions for people to follow?
