      Hello,

      After an auto upgrade from the webinterface to the new 2.1.4 release, it won't boot anymore. it says:

      "Unable to load kernel" "Can't load kernel" "OK"

      I found this: "boot /boot/kernel/kernel" This solution didn't work.

      Is there an other solution to fix it beside a reinstall or backup restore?

      Kind regards,

      Jan Willem Casteleijn

        Jan. You teach Open Source/Linux everyday ;) Ypu should know.

        I would reinstall from scratch…. a lot of others report problems on the embedded systems.

          The restore option didn't work either unfortunatly.. So i did a clean reinstall and everything is working fine now!

          Thanks for the reply.

              I also ran into this today.

              This thread may be helpful to anyone else who gets bitten by the problem:

              I had already reinstalled by the time I found the thread, though.
