Hello!
So far, we've successfully built and booted PXE-bootable images with Kiwi on OpenSUSE 15.6.
Now we're trying to do the same on OpenSUSE 16. The build works. However, a SHA256 checksum file is now being created (previously MD5). The checks in the generated initrd still seem to be expecting MD5. Therefore, we're getting the error message "Failed to provide image MD5 data".
How can we resolve this elegantly? It seems to me that we either need to be able to generate MD5 checksums again, or that we need to get SHA256 checks into the initrd.
How can we fix this?
Thanks and best regards,
Christoph
