Alpine Linux has incomplete media information
In other Linux distros, it will have media stanzas like this (Rocky 8.x shown):
<media arch="x86_64">
<variant id="everything"/>
<url>https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/x86_64/Rocky-x86_64-dvd.iso</url>
<iso>
<volume-id>Rocky-8-([4-9]|[1-9][0-9])-x86_64-dvd$</volume-id>
</iso>
<kernel>isolinux/vmlinuz</kernel>
<initrd>isolinux/initrd.img</initrd>
</media>
However, Alpine Linux only has this:
<media arch="x86_64">
<variant id="standard"/>
<iso>
<volume-id>alpine-std 3\.17.* x86_64$</volume-id>
</iso>
</media>
Namely, no "kernel" or "initrd" paths. Looking at an Alpine ISO, I see those files at /boot/vmlinuz-lts
and /boot/initramfs-lts
.
Was this omission intentional, or simply information that hasn't been filled in yet?
