Bug Description
On a Calxeda ECX-2000 (aka Midway) system the device tree model name is different than that on Highbank, so the installer reports "unknown" instead of the expected "generic".
Easy fix is to add a matching line for Midway. The name comes from the kernel device tree: arch/arm/

There is no prior support ECX-2000 thus this change cannot regress the state on ECX-2000.
Uploading same change into saucy, such that both behave the same, for now.
Brian, will you accept this package into raring-proposed please?

From Brian Murray's comment:

Use netboot installer from -proposed:
http://
Boot with the following boot arg:
apt-setup/
That should use updated udebs (e.g. libdebian-installer from -proposed).
What kernel are you after? 3.8.0-30.44 ?

I have proposed enabled in my preseed and the installer is as specified (which is from Apr 19). Attaching the syslog. There is no indication it has loaded libdebian-
Midway needs 3.8.0-28.41 or later.

Talked to Rob in person, and he concluded that they don't need this in raring, but they *do* need this in precise for the lts-* backports kernels.

Rob: There's a new installer image in raring-proposed now - URL as earlier, e.g. comment #10. If you could test that would be great. I know raring is about to go EOL, but it would be nice to clear this out first if possible. :-)

Andre still has h/w.

raring has seen the end of its life and is no longer receiving any updates. Marking the raring task for this ticket as "Won't Fix".

fwiw, I *think* the plan is to make libdebian-installer return to exposing the real subarch (highbank, vs. generic), and add the logic to base-installer to know that -generic is the right flavor for a given subarch.
