There seems to be definitely a glitch in the upgrade procedure, at least on the older versions. Blank lines are inserted in the loader.rc making it grow above a size where the loader cannot handle it any more. I guess, with a file size of 784 bytes, you should be below this limit (Christian's loader.rc was over 7kb, mine was over 14kb). Anyway, stripping out the blank lines shouldn't cause you any harm.
It might also be interesting that people with recent installs have a look at their loader.rc just after upgrades to make sure that the newer versions don't behave the same way.

At first I installed version 74 and upgrading to 80.x After 6 days, i try to reboot it, and reported kernel not found. Cause it is on production network, i do not have time to trace. So i just re-installed the iso i had (v 74) and reconfuguring it all manually. I tried the configuration.xml I downloaded 1 day before, it could not work. After all work properly, I upgraded it to 83.2 and now the /boot/loader.rc is in size 784 i just tried: # grep -v '^$' loader.rc > loader.rc.new and have loader.rc.new is in size 346 So I think it is dangerous to reboot the gateway right now, unless the problem is well known to be solved. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
