Kernel Update Problem

[fuchini]

Hello, I have a Pro and I'm having trouble doing the kernel update script.

I followd these steps: http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=3110#p18017

All the steps went smoothly except the last one. After running the update-oxnas.sh I did the following:

1. Connected the usb HDD to my pc
2. Wiped
3. Extracted the 2012 06 rootfs
4. Updated my /usr/local/mac_addr (also tried without updating my mac_addr)
5. Reconnected the USB HDD to my pogo
6. Powered on the Pogo

After some time the pogo activity light turns off completely and I cant ssh into it or ping it. I have no idea what's happening, please help me, what files should I check or post to see what's the problem? Thanks a lot

EDIT: Also followed this guide: http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=3110&start=10#p18182
But no luck.

EDIT2: Also tried to update the 2012 05 rootfs using this:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -Syu --ignore filesystem && pacman -S filesystem --force')
And installing hwid. Still no success.

So the 2012.05 Is booting for you?

[fuchini]

Yes, the 2012.05 is booting but after updating I can no longer reboot (if i reboot I can't ssh into it).

I update using this:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -Syu --ignore filesystem && pacman -S filesystem --force')

EDIT: I just re-ran the update-oxnas.sh on a fresh 2012.05 rootfs and after that rebooted immediatelly (without pacman -Syu) and I get a solid green light but can't ssh.

Hello, I'll try to elaborate a little more on what I'm doing:

1. cd /media/USB
2. rm -rf ./*
3. tar -xzvf /home/user/Downloads/ArchLinuxARM-2012.05-oxnas.tar.gz
4. cp /home/user/Downloads/mac_addr ./usr/local
5. cd ../ && umount USB
6. Plugged into pogo, turned on and ssh.
7. wget http://archlinuxarm.org/os/oxnas/update-oxnas.tar.gz
8. tar xzf update-oxnas.tar.gz -C /
9. cd /update-oxnas/
10. nano update-kernel.sh and changed "uImage.nopci" to "uImage.pci"
11. ./update-kernel.sh:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '# Oxnas kernel update, WarheadsSE 06/05/12
# Adds devtmpfs to kernel, and many modules
# NOTE: I DO NOT HAVE THE DEVICES TO TEST
# THEM ALL. Sorry.

This will flash non-PCI kernel only

Wow, haven't seen that line. Will now read that thread. Thanks a lot for helping me and sorry for asking the same thing as that thread (I just had no idea where the problem was).
