OMG - fastest reply ever. Thank you so much Robert. I thought I tried updating the kernel. What I did: wget https://rcn-ee.net/deb/sid-armhf/v3.8.13-bone60/install-me.sh chmod +x install-me.sh sudo ./install-me.sh sudo reboot
But apparently this is not how its being done. Is there a howto for newbie somewhere...? Where did I go wrong? Thanks again!
