Hello,

I am using Arch Linux for ARM on a dockstar device.

I installed it several months ago using the documentation at: https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5/seagate-dockstar

When I installed it, it used linux-kirkwood version 4.4.57 as kernel version.
During the past few months, I updated my system, but neglected to reboot until last week-end, when I discovered the machine wouldn't boot anymore.

It took me a while (plus how to connect the serial to usb cable ;-), to see that it was stuck in "Starting kernel".

I manually replaced the uImage file with the original one, and it worked again.

I have now forced pacman to install version 4.4.59-1 and it works.

So, somewhere between 4.4.57 and 4.4.97, something broke the boot on dockstar.
This task depends upon
