GFN will not show up on network - DHCP or STATIC IP

[irobot]

Hi, I have a GFN with usb flash as main archlinux drive. One Sata drive with my data. Its been running non stop for over a year as I only use it to backup data to it from other devices via samba.

Yesterday, I did a full update using Pacman -Syu and everything went fine. upon a issuing a reboot command, I saw the GFN go through the reboot process as the led on it and usb flash drive blinked as they normally do on a boot. however, now, I don't have it connect to the network anymore.

Net console output shows it booting and loading kernel and I can see kernel output until mounting my sata drive and swap img. but after that it sits. I don't have network access to it. can't ssh etc.

What should I be looking into? I have verified that USB flash ext3 partition is clean.

appreciate some help.

Check the cmdline options from the kernel boot process. Make sure that RO is not present. You might need to add 'rw' to the bootargs (minus the quotes)

I reinstalled arch linux arm on a new usb stick using the instructions from moonman's link:
http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=3312&p=19207#p19207

Now GFN shows up on my net as host alarm picksup a dhcp assigned ip, but SSH connection is refused.
What am I missing? appreciate any help.

Here's my GFN printenv output:
