2012-11-08 16:26:20 Winston Smith description Tried to upgrade a 12.04 (Precise) Ubuntu-Server install running on an OMAP4 Pandaboard (rev A2) to 12.10 (Quantal) using: do-release-upgrade -d Upgrade appeared to proceed normally, but once the system had rebooted, I found a number of problems that were not present in the previous releases. NOTE: This particular system was installed on a 8GB SDHC card 6 months ago using the following 12.04 omap40-armhf image: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/12.04/release/ubuntu-12.04-preinstalled-server-armhf+omap4.img.gz And that prior to upgrading the system was completely up-to-date (i.e. apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade ; reboot). NOTE2: I notice that in dmesg, the board is being detected as a OMAP4430 ES2.2, but the A2 revision actually has the ES2.1 silicon, I don't know if this perhaps is a contributing factor (see http://omappedia.org/wiki/PandaBoard_Revisions). 1) mongod now fails to start with: [ 1147.582946] Alignment trap: not handling instruction ed900a00 at [<00156400>] [ 1147.591156] Unhandled fault: alignment exception (0x011) at 0x01b69f63 ...

Because preEnv.txt uses 'quiet', the last thing you see at the console while booting is: ## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 80000000 ...
