Hi Martin (and list),
I just gave upgrading a try again, since things sounded good on the
initramfs 0.92a front. If you recall, I was having a problem with my
/var/lib/dpkg/status but since it's been a while since I reported that
(been busy, aren't we all) I thought I would retry the upgrade.
The upgrade proceeded without any problems on the apt side of things,
but as reported above after reboot I had the (now familiar) solid
orange status light and ethernet light. Since I had the flash image
handy I re-flashed it with upslug2 and rebooted normally. uname -a
now gives 2.6.22-3-ixp4xx
I can't think of any particular reason the upgrade should have failed,
as I've stopped (for the moment) playing with the UUID/label thing and
had left things as they were until I had more time to work at it.
Any thoughts/suggestions?
-Stuart
PS I kept a copy of the /var/lib/dpkg/status from the time of the
error in case it was important
