Update failed kernel removed

Postby Th3Link » Wed Mar 23, 2011 11:04 am

Hello,

today I have maked the February update and it failed because of a filesystem error. I corrected the error with my workstation Linux an it seems to work, but Arch Linux ARM install (on a Seagate Dockstar) still doesn't boot.

So I looked up to the log files and saw in the pacman.log that kernel26-withlinux has been removed but never reinstalled (not any kind of kernel). I think the kernel is stored in the Nand of the Dockstar, right?

What can i do now?

thanks a lot for any idea

kernel26-withlinux is no longer used. It has been replaced by just the 'kernel26' package, which should have been installed during the update. The kernel is stored on the same USB drive you have the rest of Arch Linux ARM installed on. There is of course the probability that your installation was much older than any we tested with. At this point, you should probably just download a new rootfs tarball (2011.02 is still the latest), save anything you want to keep from your old installation, wipe it off the drive, extract the new tarball.
