I tried to update my BeBook to the new 20090902 firmware several times (including re-downloading from an XP system rather than Mac, and using different software to decompress the file

Used the same 256mB SD I always have for these upgrades

Every time it seems to go fine through "Update Kernel" but then just sit at "Update System"

Last try I gave it more than 15 minutes before re-setting

On reset I still have the 20090803 firmware I last updated to

I am now trying to update to the Astak 20090901-- it also seems to be taking a very long time at "Update System"

Anyone have a clue what might be going on here?

PROBLEM FIXED:

well, I feel pretty stupid, I finally saw, despite "deleting" files from the SD that there were hidden copies of other firmwares sitting in a .trashes folder

I reformatted then copied the new firmware and voila!
