Dear Maintainer,

   If one has configured its Debian Live to have more than one architecture
kernel this is what I am expecting would be the default behaviour is:

Upstream documentation: http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/Ifcpu64.c32

Thank you!


While at this is it also possible to detect i486 vs i686-pae?

You could do it with the current ifcpu64.c32 comboot module. This poses another problem, what to do when you have three or more than three different kernels?

I prefer not to implement i486 vs i686-pae.
I think it's better the patch to be accepted as-is and later to be improved if someone finds out a reasonable way of improving it for enabling i486 vs i686-pae.

Thanks

Michal
