I messed up my BBB boot by upgrading the kernel. Help!

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for some enlightenment to solve the problem I have with my BBB.

It was running fine until I tried to follow this guide for setting up the WiFi dongle.

https://learn.adafruit.com/setting-up-wifi-with-beaglebone-black?view=all

One of the steps suggested to do the following:

cd /opt/scripts/tools/
./update_kernel.sh
I did and it worked (well, it didn't show error messages). But after the reboot nothing happens :( It starts double-blinking with one of the user LEDs and that's it, no network, no image on the screen.
Any idea how to revert that upgrade of repair it?
I can get to the filesystem by booting with fresh image on uSD card but I'm sure what to do with it... My experience with Linux doesn't go that far :(

I'd appreciate any hints!
Thanks!

Olex

Do you have a usb-serial adapter to plug into J1?

https://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBone_Black_Serial

Using that, it would be useful to see what the board is doing on
bootup, to help assist you to fix it.

Regards,

Hi Robert,

Thanks for your answer!

(initramfs)

I see that problems started already here, even before loading the kernel :

Card did not respond to voltage select!
mmc_init: -95, time 13

If I understand correctly it can't detect eMMC device.

Do you have any idea why?

Thanks again!

Best,

Olex

That's ^ actually your microSD card.. It might be toast..

why do you have 3 "root=?" options, the first is set by u-boot, but
the second two are user created from /boot/uEnv.txt
