Is anyone else having an issue booting today's (JAN 23 2021) images?
I had a device freeze on un-compressing image.
Workaround: I was running a snapshot from MAR 2020, I reverted/manually moved the configs to 19.07.6.
I have the same issue. Could have bumped over some kernel size limit. Or, well, that's what I thought initially, but ---
Surprisingly this issue doesn't apply when you are booting from initramfs.
Still not fixed on 16 March Snapshot...
@hnyman ...what do you suggest (while I revert again)?
No idea.
No knowledge about apm821xx target.

The Snapshot freezes there.
EDIT: My fear is this issue might have made its way into version 21. I haven't had a chance to test it yet.
Wait...so you were able to sysupgrade the same image after booting?
I'm very curious. 
(I never tired to boot the snapshot image, I reverted to a version 19 image to boot.)
I believe that is reflashed in the partition - which should be approximately all remaining space (for my device).
I booted the snapshot initramfs just fine -- the reboot post-sysupgrade on top of it failed. This was after the initial sysupgrade based on 19.07.5 (at the time) failed to boot up after reboot.

Have you had a chance to test 21.02.0-rc1 @hurricos?
So, as of 21.02.0-rc3, the MX60W works just fine:

I'm going to now try to sysupgrade to 21.02.0 full release and see what happens.
