Hi! thanks, Martin, Bartosz! Martin Husemann wrote:
No, there are no (known) binary compatibility issues. Are you sure you upgraded with sets from the same architecture (e.g. i386 vs. amd64)?
unfortunately, that is exactly what happened. Bartosz spotted it. Since the first issue I had, I connected remotely to my laptop to write the email, then resuming, copy-pasted the wrong architecture :(
PS: what now? boot with CD-ROM and try to upgrade "over" again?Yes, that should be the easy way out (or USB install image instead of CD).
Luckily, on this R51 the cdrom usage was smooth (it is the same CDROM I am using with the other x86 laptops I reported in the other mail) and upgrading over... fixed everything!
I add that I had another odd system left, which has no CD-ROM... and there sysugrade did run perfectly smooth on the first attempt.
Other systems to upgrade remain :) And then of course usage will tell what 9.2 does.
