After adding backports to the fresh install of wheezy, and I ran
apt-get -t wheezy-backports install linux-image-kirkwood Everything runs fine, I get some errors wrt bluetooth and wifi Required Firmware: │btmrvl_sdio: mrvl/sd8897_uapsta.bin, mrvl/sd8797_uapsta.bin, mrvl/sd8787_uapsta.bin, mrvl/sd8688.bin, mrvl/sd8688_helper.bin │ │ libertas_sdio: sd8688.bin, sd8688_helper.bin, libertas/sd8688.bin, libertas/sd8688_helper.bin, sd8686.bin, sd8686_helper.bin, libertas/sd8686_v8.bin, libertas/sd8686_v8_helper.bin, │ │ libertas/sd8686_v9.bin, libertas/sd8686_v9_helper.bin, sd8385.bin, sd8385_helper.bin, libertas/sd8385.bin, libertas/sd8385_helper.b It flashes the kernel image. Create uImage & uInitrd & their respective .bak files. This upon reboot does not work, seems unable to find /dev/sdb2 for root. Upon rebooting yet again to try and use the .bak files to boot, I am now unable to use the previously working uImage & uInitrd. I am currently reinstalling again.

The name of the file it expects to find is in f-k's database. -- Robert Scott James Mobile: 07869495689 email: rjame...@sucs.org Student Number: 656100
