This patch series fixes several problems in the way that supermin handles kernels. The most pressing problem is that supermin doesn't handle bogus vmlinuz files which aren't actual kernels. Along the way there is a lot of clean up. The patches look much better if you view them with ‘-w’. This series will require plenty of time to be tested in Fedora, especially on non-x86 arches.

Hi Rich But there is no src/kernel.ml file on my ubuntu powerpc to which the above patch is reffering. I have installed supermin as supermin_5.1.8-2_powerpc.deb debian package.

This two-part patch for supermin implements device trees (for ARM). The first patch introduces a more rational way to handle command line arguments in 'supermin-helper'. See the commit message for details. The old style is still supported for compatibility. The second patch adds an extra supermin-helper --dtb parameter specifying a wildcard. A device tree file which matches the
