Problem booting since upgrade

[jessestolen]

Hi all,

After a recent pacman -Syu my goflex home stopped booting up. The upgrade I believe contained changes to the uboot system. I think I've lost my MAC address.

I've got some netconsole outputs that tell me theres an error but I'm struggling to find any documentation on this problem.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'UBIFS error (pid 0): ubifs_get_sb: cannot open "ubi:fast", error -19
Error reading superblock on volume 'ubi:fast'!
UBIFS not mounted, use ubifs mount to mount volume first!

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Most likely, it is systemd 213. Get you kernel package upgraded to linux-kirkwood, and thus > 3.7

[jessestolen]

thanks for the reply.

Can I do that through the console? Or do I need to make a USB rescue disk?

As it stands I can't get into alarm at all only the netconsole.

[WarheadsSE]

A USB rescue boot would probably make it simple.

[jessestolen]

well kinda, I'm on a mac. Can I make a make a rescue disk from that?

I can got some kernel output put as follows:

and ssh to 10.10.10.5 asks for a password but I don't know what it is. "root" does not work.

[jessestolen]

OK. So I downloaded virtualbox and made a usb with alarm on it.

I can't figure out how to get into it though. I still can't ssh in, the password "root" won't work.

[jessestolen]

Can I make a USB rescue disk that upgrades the kernel?

Or is that not how it works at all?

[PeterV]

You can do a new install on a different USB disk, download and install the linux-kirkwood package, then mount your old USB drive and copy the /boot/uImage from the new install to the old USB disk and that should fix the problem on the old disk.
