Re: [Angstrom-distro-users] hx4700 won't boot after ipkg upgrade
I experienced the same problem as the previous posters on the HX4700 - after installing Angstrom 2007.12 everything was fine, after an ipkg update; ipkg upgrade the system was hanging on the splash screen. My feeling was that the culprit must be a kernel package, so I designed a little script for the time being: The script will update all packages, leaving kernel packages, module packages, and packages that depend on them out. For me it works fine, it just takes some time. Use at your own risk ;-) Best, Guenter #!/bin/bash ipkg update # Find non-kernel and kernel packages separately ipkg list_installed | cut -d -f 1 | grep -v kernel* /tmp/iugnk-nonkernel ipkg list_installed | cut -d -f 1 | grep kernel* /tmp/iugnk-kernel # Find packages that depend on kernel packages rm /tmp/iugnk-depkernel for PACKAGE in $(cat /tmp/iugnk-kernel | tr \\n ); do ipkg whatdependsrec $PACKAGE | grep ^ | cut -d -f 5 /tmp/iugnk-depkernel done; # Merge kernel ipkgs and packaged that depend on the kernel, unique list cat /tmp/iugnk-kernel /tmp/iugnk-depkernel | sort -u /tmp/iugnk-forbidden # Update allowed packages for PACKAGE in $(cat /tmp/iugnk-nonkernel | tr \\n ); do grep -q $PACKAGE /tmp/iugnk-forbidden if [ $? = 0 ]; then echo Ignoring $PACKAGE else echo Installing $PACKAGE ipkg install $PACKAGE fi done; ___ Angstrom-distro-users mailing list Angstrom-distro-users@linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/angstrom-distro-users
