Cubox-i 4x4 crash after updating to Kernel 4.4.1

[Lothar]

the system in my cubox-i 4x4 crashes after updating to kernel 4.4.1. I did the update in the system and after rebooting it doesn't work.

I upload the screenshot of the only thing I get, after that the screen goes off, nothing else happens.

 

If the problem is the new kernel it means I can't upgrade it, is it right?

 

I also try new images 5.0 Vanilla and I get the same screen.

That's normal. Kernel 4.4.1 does not have video driver yet - @download page this is noted with bold under bugs and limitation: Serial console only

 

Kernel 4.4.x is useful for server scenarios. For now.

is it any way to downgrade the system to the previous version instead of reinstall? and even if I reinstall the system, could I update the system without updating the kernel? because I will have again the same problem then....

[Igor]

Yes, login via SSH and install default kernel (with DTB).

 

1. Remove current

dpkg -r linux-dtb-next-cubox linux-image-next-cubox

2. Install default kernel

apt-get install linux-image-cubox linux-dtb-cubox

3. Reboot

Thanks, but the system wasn't online in the network. I did ping from one laptop searching for all possible devices online and cubox wasn't.

 

Anyway I used this opportunity to reinstall the system in another HD and I made better partitions for the system and swap space and I took note of all this.
