No. As you see in the mailing list, because I have not serial port, I
had to reinstall it whole. But ask to Martin Michlmayr if you backup
(with cat /dev/mtdblock* > image) the flash, perhaps you could reinstall
_only_ the flash and not the whole system.

I CC the arm mailing list (I hope you don't anoy) because two person
with the same problem seems to point a probable _bug_. Anyone with
serial console could see what happens.

I open new bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=552296 
. Please, make all comments you like.

I'm sorry for I can't help you better.

Regards,
Xan

So, I just did an upgrade from 2.6.26-12 to 2.6.26-19lenny1 without
any problems.

Pierre's problem was the sda->sdb change, a known problem which will
be fixed with the squeeze installer.

I also haven't heard from anyone else about problems with the upgrade,
so I doubt the new kernel has a problem.

Xan, have you tried connecting your disks to another machine and
running fsck over the partitions?

Martin, thanks for testing.
I confirmed that switching is the problem. I change paths in /etc/fstab
for UUID, rebooting and upgrade kernel and all works fine. So the "bug"
of the kernel is the swapping.

Thanks all of you, Martin, Pierre, Ben for helping in this bug,
Xan,
