Hi Darrick,
Thank you for the prompt reply and the advice.
I was hoping you wouldn't ask me about the initial install. Frankly, I
TOO am trying to remember exactly how I did the initial install. Sadly,
my only recollection is weeping, gnashing of teeth, and great elation
when it finally worked. I /think/ I installed runnix manually.
I was able to see the os directory after manually mounting the partition
as you instructed. I was surprised to see that version 0.6.3's run
files were already there! So, it looks like you're on the right track.
I'll label the vfat partition RUNNIX and hope for the best.
Thanks again for getting me on the right track.

Dan,
I'm curious how you did the initial install. It sounds like the file
system label is missing on the 'RUNNIX' partition. With it missing, you
can still upgrade, but you'll need to manually mount the partition.
(usually /dev/hda1)
mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /oldroot/cdrom
Then you'll see the 'os' directory and all that fun stuff.
If you did the install with astlinux-0.6.2-XX.img the file system lable
should be there. If you did a manual runnix install, you'll need to at
some point, pull the CF card out of the system and add a label to the
vfat partition. The label needs to be RUNNIX.

All,
It's said that the world's biggest problems could easily have been
solved when they were little. I'm noticing a problem with my Astlinux
installation that I hope is one of those easily-solved, little ones.
However, without your advice, I suspect it will snowball into far bigger
trouble. I'm hope you can help.
When 0.6.2 first came out, I made a fresh-install on a headless, i586
clone. The hardware had run 0.4.8 for quite some time with no
troubles. When 0.6.3 came out, I followed these instructions for an
apparently flawless upgrade.
1. 'mount -o remount,rw /oldroot/cdrom'
2. Download the new files. The upgrade files would be
astlinux-XXX.tar.gz. For example, if the release is 0.6.0, the files
will be distributed as astlinux-0.6.0-<ARCH>.tar.gz. You could
download these files onto a client PC or on your AstLinux device (in
an area with enough free space)
3. Expand the archive: tar -xzvf astlinux-0.6.0-<ARCH>.tar.gz
4. cd astlinux-0.6.0-<ARCH>; cp * /oldroot/cdrom/os (if
downloaded and decompressed on your client PC, you'll want to use a
tool to scp the files to the AstLinux device.
Now that 0.6.4 is out, I tried to upgrade using the web instructions
(below) but received this error, "Unable to find Runnix partition."
Lacking that, I tried the command-line instructions. At the first step,
I received the following error:
findfs: Unable to resolve 'LABEL=RUNNIX'
Unable to find Runnix partition.
I then reverted to the old, trusty, 0.6.2 instructions that I'd used
before (above) and was greeted with the following error following the
first step:
pbx_2 cdrom # mount -o remount,rw /oldroot/cdrom
mount: can't find /oldroot/cdrom in /proc/mounts
pbx_2 cdrom #
I also noticed that there is no 'os' directory under /oldroot/cdrom.
Does this problem sound familiar? Is it easily fixed? Or would I be
better served just starting from scratch with a fresh 0.6.3 install?
Thanks for considering my question.

The AstLinux Team is happy to announce that AstLinux 0.6.4 is available.
All users of AstLinux are encouraged to upgrade since this release
fixes the recently reported security vulnerability in Asterisk 1.4.23.1
Right now a mix up on the Sourceforge site is preventing us from
uploading full install versions, but current users of 0.6.2 or 0.6.3 can
upgrade to 0.6.4 by using either the 'upgrade-run-image' script from the
command line or the "upgrade firmware" option in the web interface. New
versions of the full install will be available as soon as possible on
the Sourceforge site.
Changes:
Asterisk 1.4.24 is included which fixes several bugs and at least one
security issue
Asterisk-gui was updated to svn 4618
netsnmp was updated to 5.3.2.3
The web interface was upgraded to add several features/improvements
An arno-upgrade-firewall script was added to break this away from an
init change. This won't really affect users of 0.6.x until they move to
0.7.x which uses a newer version of Arno's firewall. When the time
comes, we'll explain the importance. A serial number file was added to
trace the version of the firewall config files.
To upgrade from the command line:
1). upgrade-run-image check http://mirror.astlinux.org/firmware
2). upgrade-run-image upgrade http://mirror.astlinux.org/firmware
3). reboot as instructed
To upgrade from the web interface:
1). Navigate to the system tab on the web interface
2). Select "check for new", select the confirm box, and click the
Firmware button.
3). Select "upgrade with new", select the confirm box, and click the
Firmware button.
4). Reboot by checking that confirm button and clicking "Reboot".
Enjoy
The AstLinux Team
