Can't update linux kernel from 4.4.77-rockchip-ayufan-136 (Rock64 4gb Board) #214

Open chestercs opened 6 years ago

I've tried everything that I could find about this topic. Even tried to install it manually with dpkg, but kernel remains the same every time https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/435897/dietpi-how-to-upgrade-my-kernel-version-to-latest-version https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-build/blob/master/recipes/kernel-upgrade.md

Another thread about it: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3879&p=12922

Os: DietPi v6.9

MichaIng commented 6 years ago

Jep, found this to be an issue and investigating: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1892

NB: /lib/modules/4.4.126-rockchip-ayufan-239 is present after installing the related APT package, but /lib/modules/4.4.77-rockchip-ayufan-136 stays in place, even after purging the related APT package, and old version is loaded, even after installing/updating linux-rock64 package and all it's dependencies.

DId you actually purge the linux-image-4.4....?

MichaIng commented 6 years ago

@ayufan I can just forward the info from our user @burgyman and jep, it was purged. I also got just reply, /lib/modules/4.4.77-rockchip-ayufan-136 is actually empty, so it is indeed just current modules "really" in place.

Well. What is in /boot/efi/extlinux/extlinux.conf. Is flash-kernel installed? I don't know exactly how DietPi performs updates.

I use flash-kernel to put a latest kernel into /boot/efi/{Image,initrd.img,dtb}

I think we need to investigate a bid from our side:

Thanks so much for your help so far.

ayufan commented 6 years ago

So. I simply don't know how it is being run. You have to figure out what is being done there :)

I think we need to investigate a bid from our side:

  • Used pre-image where DietPi is applied on.
  • Verify EFI usage
  • Check if kernel is placed to wrong place, non-efi location instead of efi partition, and why.

Thanks so much for your help so far.

@ayufan Appears to be a possible issue our side, we're looking into it.

However, the current Rock64 image (stretch-minimal-rock64-0.7.3-1040-arm64.img) fails to boot: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1892#issuecomment-403229104
