At a certain time I couldn't boot up my lemote anymore.

Here is how I rescued it.

1)
I downloaded the new version of the os that samy talked about in the
mailing list:

http://www.lemote.com/upfiles/8089_OS_v1.1.1/


2)
Formatted an usb key ext2 and put it all inside.



3) Inserted the usb key BEFORE booting the lemote.


4)
At the pmon boot I pressed del.


At PMON> prompt I wrote:

boot /dev/fs/address@hidden/vmlinux

and again a second time:

boot /dev/fs/address@hidden/vmlinux



5)

The lemote will display a chinese writing and below

"System is recovering and Please wait for several minutes"


and then it will reboot.



6)

When it rebooted, the kernel didn't load (maybe this was a particular
issue related to my situation) so I set again the pmon variable called
"al" (autoload):


set al /dev/fs/address@hidden/boot/vmlinux



7)
The Lemote Yeeloong will then boot automatically into the new updated os.


Do you remember the "Easy mode" of the Asus EEE Pc?
It's something like that but it is in Chinese and based on KDE (just the
easy mode of the Xandros preinstalled on the asus eee pc).


Launching "kcontrol" from the terminal I managed to change some kde
locale settings but the "yeeloong easy mode" is something customized and
I don't think there is the possibility to change its language.


Arthur, Elly?
Some suggestions from the official manuals?


Thank you very much.
