Ian, that is not expected at all, especially not booting with the old kernel. Since you still have the old contents, can you paste the contents of /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf? BTW, which BananaPi do you use? I've updated all my BPi-M1 without issues, but it is a rule for me to update in this order: 1) yum and rpm 2) all but kernel 3) kernel To maybe that is why it didn't happen to me.
Thanks. Pablo.

Ran a 'yum update' on my Banana Pi firewall this morning and ended up with an unbootable system. (The previous kernel wouldn't boot either.)
I ended up copying my entire SD card, installing the latest image, growing the / partition, and copying the old root filesystem over. Ultimately, I was able to get everything up and running.
This system was originally installed with CentOS-Userland-7-armv7hl-Minimal-1611-BananaPi.img.xz.
I'm mainly wondering if this was expected. If so, did I miss the warnings? If not, I do still have the dump of the unbootable post- upgrade SD card sitting around, if anyone who understands the boot process on these things wants to investigate.
Either way, thanks for all the work that you all do!
