Hello!
I am new to BeagleBone, so please forgive me if some of these issues/questions are obvious and/or explained elsewhere.
I have BeagleBone Black Rev C (Debian) which I purchased from Adafruit in June. I love it!
However, I was unable to use a mouse connected via USB – it seemed like USB port simply was not providing any power. Simple USB mouse would work with my Mac, but not with BeagleBone.
So I tried updating the kernel… It looks like somehow it ran out of space, and yet recommended that I reboot. Which I stupidly did 
And now I can’t boot at all, I am getting this error:
RAMDISK: EOF while reading comporessed data
uncompression error
If anyone has a suggestion on how to bring my BeagleBone Black back to life, I would much appreciate it.
Here is what /opt/script/tools/update_kernel.sh resulted in.
