Firmware Update Troubles: raspbian, hexxeh updater

Fri Oct 19, 2012 6:04 pm

Hello. I have a problem with hexxeh updater.
How long wait after running script?
1) run "screen" and start rpi-update
2) run "top" in second "screen" window.
After running updater raspberry working slowly. "Updating firmware (this will take a few minutes)" -- I wait 5..20...30...minutes -- last message -- thats all =) No errors, warning messages... Only "Updating firmware (this will take a few minutes)"
Last attempt -- I wait around ~3 hours.
I can't connect to rpi with ssh if script running and can't make new screen window too if i connect to rpi with ssh before running script.
Screenshot "top" http://goo.gl/TdP1v mmsqd runtime 204+ minutes.
Whats wrong?

after 3h i make hard reboot and:

Code: Select all

uname -a
Linux raspberrypi 3.2.27+ #247 PREEMPT Tue Oct 16 01:49:18 BST 2012 armv6l GNU/Linux
Firmware upgraded, but it is no normal.

p.s. sorry for my language.
