Package: src:linux,upgrade-reports Version: 3.16.7-ckt2-1 Severity: important Dear maintainers, I've just upgraded my Genesi EfikaMX nettop from wheezy to jessie and the only package which wasn't upgraded was linux-image-3.2.0-4-mx5, so I had to install linux-image-armmp manually... I'm not really sure how to solve this sensibly, suggesting that linux-image-armmp should provide linux-image-3.2.0-4-mx5 seems strange. Besides that the upgrade when flawlessly, but the system only has 450 packages installed anyway. But still, very neat!

I'm not really sure how to solve this sensibly, suggesting that linux-image-armmp should provide linux-image-3.2.0-4-mx5 seems strange. In the past we've done that via the metapackages, I thought via linux-latest, but I can't see any evidence of that right now, so maybe I'm confused.. But. I don't think any modern kernel supports the efika, it was removed from the mainline kernel a while ago (summer 2012 it seems [0]) and was therefore removed from the installer on that basis too[1] It didn't come back, will need to attach a serial console and see if I see anything useful there... From what I gather this is not unexpected. I'm not sure why this platform was removed upstream, but I expect lack of anyone willing to maintain it and/or move it over to device tree might have been part of it. Around the time of the removal from the installer I did have a look around for any plausible activity on that front and IIRC I didn't find anything. Sorry, I expect none of this was what you wanted to hear :-( Ian.

I'll guess I'll go with owning another brick then ;-) I did look for non-mainline community/kernel support a while back, but it might be worth having another look before putting it in the attic.
