New kernel not used after install #209

Hi,

I used the command rpi-update to update the kernel of a Banana Pi.

But after 2 reboot, the kernel used by Raspbian is still the original 3.4.

When I display the content of the folder /lib/modules/, I see this:

drwxrwxr-x  3 1000 pi   4096 Dec 23  2014 3.4.103
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root 4096 Jun 25 21:48 4.4.13+
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root 4096 Jun 25 21:48 4.4.13-v7+

Do I have to delete the 3.4.103 folder, or change the user/group?

Did I misunderstood something?

Thanks!

Can you report the output of

uname -a
vcgencmd version

Are you using NOOBS? Do you believe it is Raspbian Wheezy or Jessie or is it some unofficial image?

Wow, you answered to me so quickly!

Linux tiger 3.4.103 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Dec 18 13:07:12 CST 2014 armv7l GNU/Linux

-bash: vcgencmd: command not found

I'm using the "Raspbian For BananaPi v1412" [Wheezy] image downloaded from here.

If you are using a banana pi then I can't help. rpi-update only makes sense on a raspberry pi. Banana Pi will have different kernel and firmware.
