Hi, It is a problem with the kernel and the modules. The problem is that the kernel isn't on the file system, it is in the NAND flash. Updating the entire system will put a new kernel on the file system, but on reboot, the kernel in flash is read, and not the kernel on the file system. Since the update procedure thinks that it has correctly updated the system, it will then happily wipe and overwrite /lib/modules, which is the source of the problem; the kernel can no longer find the required modules. The "workaround" is to make a copy of /lib/modules before updating. After the update, restore the contents of the folder, overwriting everything that the update wrote. It isn't elegant, but it does get the job done.
