You could do a clean install.

Hi all, just a quick note here that I am running 23.05 Bookworm successfully on Helios4 with ZFS. I did a clean install with a self-built image. Why the self-build? For two reasons: I wanted to have working fancontrol and that required the recent patch of @Heisath - https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/5392 I ran into an issue with not being able to install kernel headers (see below) so I needed to build an image with kernel headers built-in Build steps I wanted the release version so I did this in a clean build environment (WSL2 Ubuntu): git clone --depth=1 --branch=v23.05.2 https://github.com/armbian/build And then manually place this file in your local tree https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/patch/kernel/archive/mvebu-6.1/92-mvebu-gpio-remove-hardcoded-timer-assignment.patch. You need to touch .ignore_changes. Then run compile.sh INSTALL_HEADERS=yes. Testing After booting the image, I only did the following steps: systemctl disable helios4-wol # not sure why this service is failing but I do not use this anyway apt update apt upgrade reboot apt install zfs-dkms apt install zfsutils-linux Kernel header issue This is after apt update / apt upgrade / reboot. The repo seems to be out of sync. Also armbian-config fails altogether with a grep error (something with maximum count). root@helios4:~# apt search linux-headers|grep mvebu WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface.

Many thanks @Heisath...!! I am now trying to figure out how to get an image that includes this patch. Was this PR merged only with master or will it also trickle down to the support branch? Reason behind my question is that I'd like to stick to the latest formal release. Now that I am reading this a bit, I will probably go for a custom build of the most recent release with your patch applied locally...

Much appreciated. I am happy to test. I found this, seems that your patch had to be disabled to fix the build. https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/patch/kernel/archive/mvebu-6.1/92-mvebu-gpio-remove-hardcoded-timer-assignment.patch.disabled

Same here using image the regular Bookworm CLI image and kernel version 6.1.30-mvebu. I am happy to help with tests/debugging. @Heisath do you perhaps know more already?
