Just some beginner's questions, as I had something similar after I finally managed to upgrade an existing 2007/12 install:
When you have an internet connection, you do: ipkg update ipkg upgrade Then all the existing updates for this release are installed. Afterwards, I did 'reboot' in a root shell. Something came up again, but the last I saw was a white screen. No login screen appeared. What did I do wrong?
