Hello, I'm trying to upgrade from 3.2 to 3.2.2. I'm following along the instructions here:

http://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Upgrading_Alpine#Upgrading_Alpine_Linux_on_other_removable_media_.28such_as_CF.2FUSB.29

but when I get to the download command (modified to use the rpi package):

setup-bootable -u http://wiki.alpinelinux.org/cgi-bin/dl.cgi/v3.2/releases/armhf/alpine-rpi-3.2.2-armhf.rpi.tar.gz /media/$LBU_MEDIA

I get the following error:

Could not find any syslinux.cfg on new iso?

Is this because the the RPI image is made differently? What command should I use instead?

I am having the same issue here. Do you have a solution for this?

Sadly, no. I should pop on to the IRC and ask there. If/when I do I'll report back here

Are you trying to update the kernel or packages or both?

Check out the update-kernel command.
It might work for you if the latest linux-rpi2 kernel in your repo (3.2 in your case) is the one you want.

update-kernal -a armhf -f rpi2 /some/temp/dir
