After trying to isolate the problem of the device getting into a boot loop, i found that the package "system-services" is the one that causes this. my version before installing the package was:

0.3.8-68+0cssu0

after installing latest update (choosing to install the package maintainer's version of "/etc/event.d/rcS-late"):

0.3.8-68+0cssu3

"mount | grep /home" result (i'm using ext4 partition for optfs):

/dev/mmcblk0p2 on /home type ext4 (rw,noatime,errors=continue,commit=1,data=writebac k)

before reboot and after the update - changed all occurences of "ext3" to "ext4" in "/etc/event.d/rcS-late".

when trying to turn of the device after shut down, i get a yellow indication light and the device turns off immediately.

any idea why this issue happening?
