Reports of successful Squeeze upgrades
Following the recent conversations regarding upgrade problems I would appreciate some success stories before I attempt the upgrade on my (production) machines. Anyone willing to share? Please state your device type as well (I run an NSLU2 and a TS-209 with Lenny). Thanks Björn
Re: Should I upgrade uboot on my new OpenRD Ultimate?

For example, this machine will eventually be installed at a remote location doing environmental monitoring. If there's a power failure (not un-likely to happen given the run-time environment) I'd like to be very sure it comes up when the power returns. If there are features in the latest uboot that make it more robust, I'd like to be able to take advantage of them. U-boot USB support is reported to be a bit unstable; sometimes you have to reboot because it can't see the disk... Maybe you'd be better off with a 2.5 internal disk or with e-sata...

Re: flashing fails due to size issue during upgrade

Compressing my initrd with lzma instead of gzip reduces its size by 30%, so it could fit. BEWARE though, there could be catches I'm not aware of (I haven't actually tried booting in this configuration), maybe Martin could enlighten us?

Re: Why shouldn't I upgrade uboot on my new OpenRD Ultimate? If so, to which version?
OK, It now seems that I actually do need to upgrade the Uboot on my Ultimate. The problem is that Uboot 3.4.16 doesn't support access to the MMC/SD card. So now the question is: What version should I upgrade to? Is it OK to use the same one I used to upgrade the SheevaPlug?
