Use SMP kernel for Alpha udeb builds

Frank Scheiner requested to merge (removed):use-smp-kernel-for-alpha-udebs into master

As per 1 and recent discussions on the debian-alpha mailing list the generic 4.x kernels seem to no longer work on any tested Alpha machines (neither non-SMP nor SMP) which also renders any installer images using the generic 4.x kernels non-working.

Confirmed on:

  • AlphaStation 200 (w/EV4 x 1)
  • AlphaStation 255 (w/EV45 x 1)
  • Personal Workstation 500au (w/EV56 x 1)
  • AlphaServer DS20E (w/EV67 x 2)

Also expected on:

  • AXPpci33 (w/LCA4 x 1)
  • AlphaStation 500 (w/EV56 x 1)
  • AlphaServer DS25 (w/EV68CB x 2)
  • AlphaServer ES45 (w/EV68CB x 4)

This patch plus a patch for d-i/debian-installer should switch the used kernels to the SMP version.

Additional information on 2.
