New Kernel 2.6.39.1

should Pogoplug Pro users update?

This won't affect OXNAS based boards. It's perfectly safe to allow it, and it will only take up a small amount of space on your rootfs.

I forced downgrade of the first few packages and then upgraded the rest. So far, can't tell a difference.

Will probably try getting hostapd working with my wireless adapters again.

WarheadsSE: "This won't affect OXNAS based boards".. does it mean OXNAS do not get kernel upgrade? still 2.6.31?

[WarheadsSE]

Correct.

It did effect my B01 oxnas pogo - it appears to boot but network is not accessible (ping or ssh).

I know this isn't true to our style of having to bold, highlight, <blink> tag, and color notices for them to have the remote possibility of being read by the people they're intended for (and often for the sole purpose of preventing disastrous consequences); however, there's only so much a console can do. If you watched the kernel26 package being installed, you should have noticed this line:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')his package is for all ARMv5te plug computers.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('mteel', 'I')t did effect my B01 oxnas pogo - it appears to boot but network is not accessible (ping or ssh).

I have a v3 pogoplug (black) and performed a pacman upgrade right after the archlinux installation. As expected from the notes in this chain, while the new kernel did get installed, I am still running on the old kernel:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@pogoplug boot]# uname -a
Linux pogoplug 2.6.31.6_SMP_820 #100 SMP Sun May 29 04:53:45 EDT 2011 armv6l ARMv6-compatible processor rev 5 (v6l) Oxsemi NAS GNU/Linux
[root@pogoplug boot]# ls /lib/modules
2.6.31.6_SMP_820 2.6.39-ARCH gmac_copro_firmware')

Having the new kernel apparently affects kernel module installation however. Running "pacman -S zd1211-firmware" for a WiFi driver results in the module getting installed only in the new kernel (2.6.39) tree, not in the old 2.6.31 tree.

Anyone know how to solve this?
