Debian Jessie on Lemote Yeeloong?
Hello,
I hope this is a good place to ask about the prospects of running Debian
Jessie on a Lemote Yeeloong? In my searches I have got the impression
that while Lemote was well supported on Wheezy - ie X patch, custom
kernel - this community seems to have died out before their efforts were
extended to Jessie. Would this be correct?
Myself, I have had the laptop for a few years and had Jessie on it, with
kernel image 3.11, without patching X or caring about the wifi. Updating
to 3.16 would result in me landing on a initramfs shell on boot.
Connecting to a wireless network would result in a kernel panic, which
may be the following bug:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54391
though I did not try that patch. Instead, I now installed wheezy on it,
with image 3.2 - I can now connect wirelessly with no kernel panics.
However, the software is rather old and the release of Jessie is
imminent. Does there happen to still be a community and any repositories
I could be getting my updates from (ie in my search I have found some
repositories at http://www.anheng.com/, but I do not understand a word
on their site and do not know whether they 're up to date and
trustworthy). At the moment my biggest issue seems to be the kernel
image - would I be able to upgrade to Jessie while holding back the
kernel to 3.2? Thank you,
Albert
