Uncompressing Linux... then nothing

[MacsandaPi]

Today on my RPi B+, I ran

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Then to check version and build number against

Code: Select all

uname -a

I ran

Code: Select all

strings /boot/kernel.img | grep Linux

"Uncompressing Linux..." was displayed, but then the cursor went to the home directory of the user account and no kernel information was provided. This has never happened before so I'm wondering why now and how to fix. Thanks for any help and Happy New Year.

Just for clarification, were you trying to update/upgrade a version of Raspbian Jessie (and not Raspbian Wheezy or something else)?

Thanks for your reply. It is the latest version of Jessie with Pixel.

I don't know if this is germane, but here's some additional detail that I just remembered: during the update/upgrade process, the scrolling stopped and there was some information presented about outmoded(?) packages(?); I didn't read carefully and don't remember the terms used. Because I didn't know how I should respond I just had the update/upgrade process continue to completion--maybe that's a clue about the subsequent failure to see the results of "Uncompressing Linux..."
