Hi all
I didi opkg update and upgrade , it takes me about 2 hours
and after that I rebooted the board I got a "Kernel panic", I failed
for booting.

Any one complete opkg upgrade normally?

Thanks.

If you update the kernel packages with opkg, it seems to remove the old/current kernel modules. It also doesn’t copy the new uImage from /boot onto the fat partition of the SD card (which its where uboot gets it from). If you can manage to extract the new uImage from your Linux partition and copy it onto the fat partition, perhaps it will boot (it should be named uImage, not uImage.3.2.6+ but you could also modify the uboot environment to look for a different file name).

Is there a way to do upgrade without kernel packages?

Thanks
