Hi Scott,

thanks for your reports. I am replying to both bugs because they concern
essentially the same issue.

>From briefly looking at
http://sources.debian.net/src/linux-latest/77/debian/control, it seems
to me that -marvell is the only armel flavor that is going to be left --
is that correct?

For supermin and libguestfs, we are looking for a kernel that can be
used to boot a minimal system inside QEMU that has been constructed from
bits of the host system. Do the linux-image-*-marvell kernels fit that
requirement? If so, are there special parameters that need to be passed
to qemu-system-arm?

Cheers,
-Hilko
