Filesystem update = no boot

[Socaltom]

Black Pogoplug pro
Updated to new kernel with the PCI Uimage with the instructions in this thread http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=2453. After the update I booted with my original filesystem.
Tried to install Cups and Hplip and got the error messages about systemd and udev-oxnas conflict, so I went full hog and reformated the drive, made an ext3 fS and extracted the tar for the new filesystem from the link at the bottom of the install page.
Now it won't boot all the way up, I end up with the flashing green light.
Here is the errors.log$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '

Do I need set-oxnas-mac? I added it in an attempt to get it to work, but it didn't help.
What about gmac?

[WarheadsSE]

gmac is a module that should be loaded.

Looks like it is having issues with tmpfs/devtmpfs

[Socaltom]

Its official--- I'm an idiot
I was using the arm5v rootfs, not the oxnas fs. I don't know how I did it, but it booted up fine with the oxnas fs and updating the mac_addr as in the instructions.

Glad you got it sorted.
