If I need to reboot it, I just ssh to it,  type "sudo shutdown -r now" and pray.  It hasn't failed me yet (knock wood!).  If it starts to fail, I'll have to find another PC to hook up the serial console to, but I figure I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

I'm not sure.  If it helps, here's what aptitude thinks is installed:

rbthomas at sheeva:~$ aptitude versions u-boot
i   2019.01+dfsg-7                                                        stable                                            500 

I have not recently (since before 2019) done anything more than allow aptitude to upgrade packages as it thinks best.  In particular, I have not made any attempt to burn new firmware on the device.

Does that help?
