Hi,
some weeks ago I upgraded my Wetek Play 1 from LE 8 to v8.90.006 ALPHA. Due to some bugs I tried to switch back to LE 8 but this failed for some reason I did not see. (I am using the analogue output of the Wetek on an old CRT TV. During the update step the Wetek does not supply a proper signal on the analogue output. The TV just shows garbage.)
Two day ago I tried to upgrade to the latest alpha (8.90.008) and realized that this also did not work. I then connected a LCD and saw that the upgrade script (packages/sysutils/busybox/scripts/init I assume) failed with "Missing (target) kernel.img or SYSTEM!". That made sense, because there was no kernel.img in /flash. There was just a /flash/KERNEL (and as far as I can remember has always been). I then created an empty /flash/kernel.img file and the upgrade finally succeed (but the upgrader copied the new kernel into /flash/kernel.img).
I looked into projects/WeTek_Play/options and saw that KERNEL_NAME="kernel.img" is set there. Is this a mistake?
