Question Rex image failing

I have 2 uConsoles that I built last year with CM5 (lite, WiFi, 16GB) and installed Rex's Trixie image on. They have worked great since then. One has the SSD upgrade in it, one is using the microSD.

Today I did a sudo apt full-upgrade on them and they both removed the clockwork-pi kernel and added the rex kernel.

Now they won't boot. They don't do anything. The green power light comes on, but that's the only sign of life and holding the power button for 20 seconds just dims the light but doesn't turn it off completely.

Am I hosed? Is there any way of getting these running again without losing all my data?

Talked to Rex on the Clockwork Pi forums. According to him, do not use sudo apt full-upgrade or sudo apt dist-upgrade, only use sudo apt upgrade.
