Howto Update to new Kernel for NSA325

[SomeoneOnLine]

How could I update to the new kernel that auto mounts both drives at boot?

Just run pacman -Suy to update everything.
It is not kernel's job to mount the drives though,you need to edit /etc/fstab.

[WarheadsSE]

He's referring to "powering on" not necessarily "mounting"

He need to make sure the boot partition is updated, or, that it is mounted so that pacman will update to that.

Here is my fstab (I also added /dev/sda3)
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'cat fstab
#
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
/dev/sda1 /boot ext2 defaults,noatime 0 2
/dev/sda3 /a3-data auto defaults,noatime 0 2
#EOF
[root@zy01 etc]#')I am not sure if my values for “dump” and “pass” are correct

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'J')ust run pacman -Suy to update everything.

[WarheadsSE]

Get me these 3 command outputs:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
uname -a
pacman -Qi linux-kirkwood
dmesg | grep -i scsi
')

Next:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
cd /sys/class/gpio
echo 47 < export
cd gpio47
echo 1 > value
echo 'out' > direction
fdisk -l
')

As you can see below I now get a bunch of permission denied errors when I run the below commands. At the moment I have two 500GB drives in the system. So that I can mess with it. Neither drives have anything I care much about on them.

[root@alarm ~]# cd /sys/class/gpio
[root@alarm gpio]# echo 47 < export
-bash: export: Permission denied
[root@alarm gpio]# cd gpio47
-bash: cd: gpio47: No such file or directory
[root@alarm gpio]# echo 1 > value
-bash: value: No such file or directory
[root@alarm gpio]# echo 'out' > direction
-bash: direction: No such file or directory
[root@alarm gpio]# fdisk -l

I think you have the same problem that I did (/dev/sda1 not mounted to boot)

/dev/sda1 is just fine (at least I think it is), Its /dev/sdb that is not getting powered on at boot automatically. I was able to manually able to power it on by using the the below code. But once I issued "pacman -Suy" and rebooted now I am not able to run the below command to power on sdb.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
cd /sys/class/gpio
echo 47 > export
echo 1 > gpio47/value
')
