PandaBoard ES : Updated system won't boot

Postby nmset » Sun Jul 29, 2012 8:38 pm

Hello,

The PandaBoard ES works well with Arch Linux ARM with the root image you provide.

If I update the system with pacman -Syu, it doesn't boot at all.

After re-installing the root partition from the root image, I can update any package after

pacman -S glibc
pacman -S pacman

It seems that upgrading the kernel is the problem. The new kernel installed by pacman -Syu prevents the device from booting.

Is it that the kernel is not supposed to be upgraded ?
What can be done for a whole system update ?

I can only log on the device through SSH, I cannot debug anything through the serial port.

Thanks for any advice.

OK, resolved.

/boot/uImage

has to be copied to the boot partition.

Cheers !
