Thanks Robert, upgrading to a new image is a really big deal as I have
so many apts and pips installed; the last time I did it, I think I lost
a week although hopefully I'm better at it now. Probably the best way
will be to purchase a new BBB and do the upgrade on it so I still have a
working board to continue with in case real problems occur. Re updating
the kernel, I think if I make the changes:
#if [ ! "x${test_rcnee}" = "x" ] ; then
to
if [ "x${test_rcnee}" = "x" ] ; then
then the else clause will be triggered. Alternatively, I guess I could
comment out your repos from /etc/apt/sources.list and just leave the
upgrade shell file as it is? Thanks again.
-Ken
p.s. would you recommend removing your repos from /etc/apt/sources.list?

Thanks Robert, I did the recommended upgrade to bone 76, but after the
upgrade and running uname -a, it still states bone 70.

Ah that's why ^^, you are running 2014-04-23 and have the my repo enabled.
update_kernel assumes if the repo is enabled, simply install the
"linux-image-*.deb" is enough to update the boot script..
for "2014-04-23" you want to run these two commands in the else section:
https://github.com/RobertCNelson/boot-scripts/blob/master/tools/update_kernel.sh#L470-L471
So nuke the rest of that 'if' block, then it'll then work for you..
BTW/Warning, upgrading to v3.14.x is going to cause you bigger issues
with "2014-04-23" as the values we use for u-boot in the location of
the dtb (at the time of 2014-04-23) and v3.14.x 'fat' dtb's cause them
to over write the kernel location in memory. So the board will
hardlock after u-boot jumps to the kernel..
The safe bet for to look at updating to the 2015-07-28 image: (it's
also wheezy and 3.8.x)
http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#2015-07-28
as it's just the natural progression of rolling updates from 2014-04-23 image..
