Fixing mismatched RUNNIX/AstLinux versions

• To fix mismatched RUNNIX/AstLinux you need either serial or video console access
  (serial access with a crossover cable, baudrate 19200 8N1 or 38400 for Alix 2 boards).
• The other way is to get out the CF from the box, put it in CF card reader and make the changes on another computer.

Before you start, look here for RUNNIX reference.

Reboot and at the 'boot' prompt type “shell”. Then at the 'runnix#' prompt…

Display the RUNNIX Version

runnix# cat /mnt/base/ver

Display the AstLinux Version

runnix# cat /mnt/base/os/ver

Exit and reboot to a new 'boot' prompt.

runnix# exit

Reboot and at the 'boot' prompt type “xrunnix”.

The box should boot into 0.7.x and you should be able to access it to upgrade to 1.0.x. After the upgrade, reboot and you should be good.

Reboot and at the 'boot' prompt type “shell”.

runnix# cd /mnt/base/os

runnix# ls *ver

You should see 'Xver' and 'ver'. “cat Xver” should be astlinux-0.7.10

You want to exchange these two files, so *exactly* type

runnix# mv ver Tver
runnix# mv Xver ver
runnix# mv Tver Xver

runnix# sync
runnix# exit

It should now boot into 0.7.10 and now upgrade *both* AstLinux and RUNNIX this time.
