I don't think it's you. I've just tried a remote upgrade from 1.2-RC1
embedded on a mini-ITX to 1.2-RC2, and it probably didn't succeed (haven't
powercycled the system yet -- so one of my firewalls is now h0sered).

Looks like it's running out of flash space. Just powercycled the box,
hasn't come up so far. Oh well, I have still the other firewall
running.
We definitely need to get away from fixed partition size on the
embedded. A way to grow the filesystem would seem to be required,
or at least images which can handle larger flash cards (1 GByte CF
is a dime a dozen these days). It's too bad there's no vanilla CF
which can take a real r/w filesystem.
