This means the Loongson 2 CPUs are not supported anymore (this includes the Yeeloong machine). I have asked many times to document this changes in the release notes, but this hasn't been done yet. I am therefore reassigning the bug there, Cc:ing debian-mips so that somone can take care of that. Thanks, Aurelien -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 4096R/1DDD8C9B aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net
