Make sure to move kernel to boot partition after upgrade

To boot with the latest kernel, be sure to follow directions on the gigamegablog, quoted here, to boot using it:

When opkg delivers the kernels, it doesn’t install them.   To start using a new kernel, you need to manually install it onto the boot partition of the SD card – you can easily do this right from the Beaglebone command prompt.

Begin by mounting the boot partition.  You need to use a directory as a mount point: I’m using one called tmp:

root:~# mkdir tmp
root:~# mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 tmp

If you look at the mount point, you should see the following files:

root:~# ls tmp
Docs     LICENSE.txt  README.htm    u-boot.img  uImage
Drivers  MLO          autorun.inf  info.txt    uEnv.txt

Overwrite the uImage with the latest kernel file from /boot:

root:~# cp /boot/uImage-3.2.9+ tmp/uImage

Unmount to make sure everything is nicely tucked away on the SD card, then reboot:

root:~# umount tmp
root:~# shutdown -r now
